Gluten-Free at School: Info Sheet for Teachers & Carers (UK · US · DE · IT)
A free, country-adapted two-page sheet to hand to your child's school. Explains coeliac disease (medical, not an allergy), classroom cross-contact, the legal framework and labelling rules for your country, and exactly what to do if the child eats gluten by accident. Four editions: UK, US, Germany (Deutsch), Italy (Italiano).
Hand this to the class teacher on day one. Two pages a busy teacher will actually read: what coeliac disease is (an autoimmune condition, not an allergy — no emergency medication, but every exposure matters), where gluten hides in a classroom (shared toasters, playdough, craft paste, baking lessons), a fill-in box for your child’s details, and a calm, step-by-step “if they eat gluten” section.
Four country editions, each with its own legal and labelling box: United Kingdom · United States · Deutschland (Deutsch) · Italia (Italiano).
What you get: four A4 PDFs, free, print as many as you need.
Pairs with the free School Start Checklist, the Nursery & Kita sheet and the fridge card. For grandparents, babysitters and every other carer there is the one-page About My Child sheet. The paid School Year Kit adds the letter templates and the term calendar.
Frameworks are summarised, not legal advice — confirm current arrangements with your school. Not medical advice.
