Asthma At School campaign starts on Wednesday 11^th October, to help raise awareness amongst schools, so they know what to do if a child has an asthma attack. We want every staff member that looks after children to recognise the signs of an asthma attack, know the key steps to help them and when to call 999.

59,000 children in Wales have asthma and in 2021/22, 852 children ended up in hospital with life threatening asthma attacks. It’s essential that the seriousness of asthma and its potentially fatal consequences are better understood within schools.
