How to Keep Your Students With Food Allergies Safe While on Tour.
When it comes to food allergies, there is no wiggle room. It is imperative that you do everything within your power to keep your students safe while on tour. In this episode of Teacher Show Me the World, I interview Rachel Gurk from the award winning food blog RachelCooks.com. Rachel discusses the best way a Group Leader can help keep their students with food allergies safe while traveling abroad. She speaks from her own experiences due to the fact her own children have severe food allergies.
Rachel and her recipes have been featured on the Cooking Channel, the Today Show, Huffington Post, Bon Appetite, Better Homes and Garden, Country Living and more.
Included with this podcast are two essential resources that EVERY Group Leader should provide to students before embarking on a tour. The first resource is Food Allergy Travel Cards, available in 14 languages to accommodate various food allergies. Simply print these cards on sturdy card stock, laminate them, and ensure your students carry them to use when dining out or shopping during the trip.
The food allergy cards are user-friendly, available in 14 languages. Students select their allergies, show the card to waitstaff or food vendors to ensure safe food purchases.
The backside of the card is for listing the local Emergency Numbers.
Before departure, students should fill out an Emergency Contact Card with the local emergency number, the travel company's phone number, and the child's family emergency contact.
