Asthma is the most common longterm condition in children and young people (CYP),  affecting one in 11 five to 18 year olds (Asthma + Lung UK, 2024a). That is around three in every classroom. Most cases are mild to moderate and, in most children, a few  simple interventions can vastly reduce asthma symptoms and risk of attack (Bush and  Fleming, 2015; British Thoracic Society/Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines network  [BTS/SIGN], 2019; Levy, 2020; National Institute for Health and Care Excellence  NICE], 2021). The awareness campaign, #AskAboutAsthma, was established to encourage  everyone seeing CYP with asthma to have these interventions front and centre of their minds.
