National Allergy Strategy Contribution
Safe Air Schools contributed to the UK National Allergy Strategy through the Indoor and Outdoor Air Working Group. Our input informed recommendations on indoor air quality, ventilation, filtration, public awareness, and healthier school environments, and highlighted the need to strengthen occupational health standards and reduce workplace exposure to allergens and air pollutants. This sets out a shared vision for reducing exposure to allergens and air pollution across the UK, helping protect children's health and support inclusive education.
Featured in The iPaper
Safe Air Schools contributed to a feature on classroom air quality, highlighting challenges that schools face. Closing windows traps heat, carbon dioxide and indoor pollutants, while opening them can increase exposure to outdoor pollution and high temperatures. The feature raised awareness of the need for practical evidenced-based solutions.
