LACA & Natasha Allergy Research Foundation Allergy Management Award

We aim to provide every child with a safe lunchtime experience. To that end we sought to fundamentally change forever how school meals are ordered, which led us to being the FIRST in market to deliver an Online Allergy Protection System.

Following the announcement of the Food Information Regulations 2014, the company immediately set about to exceed the requirements and look for new ways to protect pupils from harmful allergens. With an ambition to remove the jeopardy of human error, the SchoolGrid Allergy Protection system was born. The brainchild of SchoolGrid CEO Dugald Curtis, the innovation was developed from a determination to create a risk-free environment for all in schools.

Free Allergy Protection to Safeguard the Industry

As part of our commitment to catering excellence, the Allergy Protection module is offered free to all SchoolGrid customers, to ensure as many children as possible benefit from the safety and protection it offers.

“The allergen system is a big selling point for us. As a school we are very cautious that a lot of children have different needs and a lot of allergies. Parents uploading these direct to the system has been good for the school.” Tonnianne Hewitte, Trust Finance Officer, Quest Trust
