- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

Who this template is for
Child Allergy Action Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in childcare & family.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features advanced show logic: if “Is a current allergy care plan available?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Current allergy care plan”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Is a current allergy care plan available?” is Not yet, the form dynamically exposes “Care plan follow-up”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Will allergy medication be kept at the setting?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Medication handoff details”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Use this form to bring a child's allergy information, family contacts, and existing care plan into one staff handoff. Send it before the child's first day, then request an update whenever the family reports a change. Ask families to copy allergy names from their current records rather than relying on broad labels such as “food allergy.” The uploaded care plan is the source for individualized response instructions; this form does not create or replace those instructions. If the family cannot provide a plan yet, the follow-up field records who will send it and when. A submitted form should never be treated as proof that staff have reviewed the plan or received medication. Choose a named staff member to check the submission, confirm that attachments are readable, and reconcile medication handoff details with your setting's separate authorization and storage procedures. Keep the review date visible so missing documents do not disappear into an inbox. Limit access to staff who need the information for the child's care. Before outings or room changes, check that the receiving staff can access the current record. Keep older versions distinguishable from the active plan, and collect only information relevant to managing the child's allergies in your setting.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Send it with the enrollment checklist
Ask families to have their current allergy records ready before starting. Make clear how they can securely deliver a plan if uploading is not practical.
- 2
Test all three conditional fields
Preview both care-plan answers and both medication answers. Confirm that families without a plan see the follow-up question rather than an upload request.
- 3
Assign the handoff to one staff member
Have a named reviewer check the attachment, contact numbers, and planned medication delivery. Record completion in your internal workflow, not in the family's acknowledgment.
- 4
Check access before a change of setting
Before a field trip or room move, confirm the responsible staff can retrieve the current care plan and contact details without relying on the original reviewer.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating a completed form as a replacement for the child's individualized care plan.
- Assuming a medication handoff note means medication has arrived or administration has been authorized.
- Leaving outdated attachments alongside the current plan without clearly marking which version staff should use.

Privacy & compliance
This form collects health information. Keep access limited to the people who need it, turn on encrypted answers for the clinical questions, and set a retention window so records don't sit in the dashboard forever.
Frequently asked questions
Does this form tell staff what to do during an allergic reaction?
No. It organizes information and handoff arrangements. Individualized response instructions belong in the child's current care plan, alongside your setting's established emergency procedures.
What if a family does not have a care plan ready?
The Not yet answer reveals a follow-up field for the person responsible and expected timing. Assign a staff reviewer to resolve the gap through your setting's process; do not treat the submission as a complete action plan.
Should allergy details also appear on the enrollment form?
Use the Daycare Enrollment Form to identify that an allergy record is needed, then collect the detailed handoff here. Link the records internally so families are not maintaining conflicting copies of the same information.
Does the backup contact have permission to collect the child?
No. A contact listed here is not automatically an authorized collector. Keep collection permissions in the Child Pick-Up Authorization Form and check that record separately.
Is the Child Allergy Action Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Child Allergy Action Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
