"We hope this handbook, like its predecessor, will be a useful tool for school boards as they continue to find ways to provide a safe learning environment for children with life-threatening allergies.

The revision of the handbook has been undertaken to ensure that the information presented reflects the latest thinking of the medical and legal professions, as well as the actual experience of school boards. While most of the information in the 1996 edition remains valid, new board policies developed since that time have provided some additional suggestions and insights which have been included as additions to the original document. As well, recent medical research has contributed to a greater understanding of anaphylaxis. The section on the legal context has been modified substantially to make it more applicable to school boards."
