Asthma is a common condition – one in every 11 children in the UK has asthma. It is important to recognise the key role of schools in children’s lives and that education staff should feel confident in the management of asthma within school. In view of the updated national asthma guidelines published in 2024, there have also been some changes in the type and use of some inhalers that may be brought to school.
Everyone can play a part in creating an asthma-friendly environment from parent/carer to the whole school community. Parents should have confidence in sending their child to school and children with asthma should feel safe within school.
Identifying the signs and symptoms of an asthma attack can support children and young people with recognising and initiating asthma relief treatment and to follow their personalised asthma action plan.
