Milk Ladder Step Up Terms: Key Details
The terms and conditions set out below apply to the services offered by The Milk Allergy Dietitian. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under law and set out the terms under which The Milk Allergy Dietitian (“we”, “our” or “us”) provide services to you, as purchaser of the Milk Ladder Step Up. These terms are subject to any rights you have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract.
Milk Ladder Step Up Outline
The Milk Ladder Step Up is a group program for parents and families who want to learn how to support their child with cow’s milk allergy (CMA). The Milk Ladder Step Up is over 6 weeks starting from 13th October 2025 and ending on 24th of November 2025. Families receive regular support and guidance from an expert dietitian, Lydia Collins-Hussey, The Milk Allergy Dietitian inside the private facebook group, weekly zoom calls and step up portal.
The aim of the Milk Ladder Step Up is to provide support and information to families with children who have been advised to start the milk ladder. This includes non IgE mediated CMA and IgE mediated CMA. In IgE mediated CMA this can only be attempted with written confirmation from the child’s allergy team that they are happy for the family to proceed at home and that you understand the risks involved with doing the milk ladder at home. You also understand that whilst healthcare staff involved in the delivery of Milk Ladder Step Up will make every effort to minimise the risk of a serious reaction, a reaction may still occur.
Milk Ladder Step Up Specifics
There are three main elements to Milk Ladder Step Up :
i) Weekly drop in sessions over zoom for 6 weeks
ii) Private Facebook group providing the opportunity for daily check-ins (written, not live calls or videos)
iii) Access to the Step Up portal with expert videos, handbook, and tracker
for 3 months
Weekly Drop In Session
The weekly drop in sessions happen on either a Tuesday or Wednesday evening each week until 24th November 2025. These sessions are for 1 hour and provide an opportunity for questions on the ladder to be asked live. Each week will have a theme that The Milk Allergy Dietitian will discuss for 15 minutes. The session is then open for questions. If no one attends within the first 15 minutes, the call will be ended early.
It is requested that at all times your behaviour towards others is polite and respectful. We will not be held responsible for the behaviour or actions of any other members. Should your behaviour be deemed offensive or inappropriate we reserve the right to remove you from the membership with immediate effect.
Private Facebook Group
You will have access to a private Facebook to support you during the program. The intention of the Facebook Group is to provide community support and a network of individuals at a similar stage of their child’s milk allergy and who are facing similar challenges.
From time to time The Milk Allergy Dietitian may post and offer support in the Facebook Group with the aim to respond daily within Monday- Friday 8am -4pm working hours.
Please be advised that whilst we hope that you will be able to utilise the Facebook Group, we make no guarantees as to the availability of the group and/or the content within the group at any time.
Milk Ladder Step Up Portal
On confirmation of order, the client will be requested to create login details which will allow access to the Milk Ladder Step Up Portal to access bite size videos, the climbing the milk ladder handbook, milk ladder tracker as well as zoom links for the weekly drop in sessions.
Access will be given from the point of payment and 10 weeks after confirmation. The follow up support ends on 24th November 2025 with additional bonus access to the training resource portal until the 22nd December 2025.
