Dear S Pattison

Request FOI/7949

Further to your request received on 25/07/2023, I confirm that the Council
has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Specifically, you have requested the following information:

"I wish to make a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act to
obtain the following information relating to schools in your local
authority area, for each of the past 5 academic years:

1. The total number of schools in your local authority area that have
undertaken formal training on administering Adrenaline Auto-Injector (AAI)
devices during the past 12 months.

2. The total number of school staff in your local authority area who have
undertaken formal training on administering Adrenaline Auto-Injector (AAI)
devices during the past 12 months.

3. The total number of schools in your local authority area that have
undertaken Allergy Awareness training during the past 12 months.

4. The total number of school staff in your local authority area that have
undertaken Allergy Awareness training during the past 12 months.

5. The total number of schools in your local authority area with a
specific Allergy Policy published and in operation.

6. The total number of schools in your local authority area holding spare
adrenaline auto-injector devices, for use in the event of an anaphylaxis
emergency." 

The Local Authority would not hold this data. Allergy awareness would be
done by individual schools and there is no requirement to report to us. 

The Council publishes Access to Information requests and responses on its
online Disclosure Log. (Any request included within this log will be
anonymised appropriately)

To view the Council’s Disclosure Log, please visit our website available

under the Freedom of Information Act / Environmental Information
Regulations you may ask for an internal review. This should be submitted
to us within 40 working days of this response. You can do this by
outlining the details of your complaint by:

Email:        [2][Croydon Borough Council request email]

the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
