We recommend that each school have an active and current asthma management policy that is:

Understood by all staff
Actioned by the school

Student Asthma Plans

Anyone with asthma should have a current Asthma Action Plan that they complete with their doctor.

Asthma Action Plans are an integral part of asthma management and help people with asthma and those around them to be more aware of worsening symptoms and provide clear instructions on what to do in the case of an emergency.

A copy of an Asthma Action Plans should be provided to the school by the student’s parents or carers at least annually, or when there is a change to medication, lifestyle, symptoms or their asthma management process.

You can find an Asthma Action Plan template here to provide to your students and their parents or carers.

Q3. Does your School actively encourage parents and carers to provide a copy of a current student asthma plan at least annually?(Required)

Yes

No
