If a child or pupil has a severe allergy or a illness that requires it, a special diet will be provided. The diet is discussed at child health clinics or in school and student health care and, if necessary, advice is given to seek clarification from the treatment provider. The guardian or a student of full age is responsible for the accurateness of the dietary information presented.
The meal services for the daycare centres, schools, vocational education institutions and general upper secondary schools of the City of Tampere are provided by Pirkanmaan Voimia Oy or its purchasing partner.
The health service will fill in the special diet description using an e-form and print it out for the guardian or student.
Who fills out the form is determined by the diet:
In case of failing to log into the e-form, the pdf form below shall be filled in by a health care professional. The guardian, or the student who is of age, will then deliver the printed form to the daycare centre or to the school or educational institution and to the meal services.
Pirkanmaa Voimia Ltd will receive the special diet description through the electronic form filled in by the health care services. Voimia Oy also delivers electronic forms to the kitchens of its purchasing service partners.
After you have been informed where your child will attend daycare or school, take the printed form to the personnel of the daycare centre or school.
The guardian should use the e-form below to inform the meal service of the name of the new daycare centre or school. This information is not passed on from the meal service to the daycare centre or school personnel. This method of notification only applies to places that are selectable on the form menu. In all other cases, the guardian will send a valid form to the meal service, the day care centre and the school.
If there is a change in the special diet, the guardian or student must provide a new special diet form. When a special diet is no longer needed, the guardian or student must inform the kitchen by e-mail.
The introduction of a new food allowance will be notified by the guardian to the kitchen by e-mail. Contact details can be found on the the meal service provider's eMenu website. New foods to be avoided will require a new declaration.
If the student or guardian is absent for more than one week, the student or guardian must notify the kitchen. If a special diet is not eaten for two weeks without notification, it will be suspended. Preparation will only be resumed with a separate notification.
