What strategies would you implement to ensure she is not served cow’s milk at your Service?

Would you go as far as not serving cow's milk at all on the days Alision was in care or is that too extreme??

Yeah that is a bit extreme... It wouldn't be fair to other children and also it won't meet the nutrition requirements for the children attending on those days either. Instead you can provide Allison with a different colored cup so it doesn't get mixed with others when serving milk and make sure there is a notice in the kitchen and eating area so all staff are aware...

Hope this helps,
