From September this year, allergy training for all school staff will become a statutory requirement in England.

As allergies are increasingly common among pupils, it is essential that every member of staff understands how to identify risks, prevent incidents, and respond quickly in an emergency.

This course ensures your staff are fully prepared and compliant, creating a safe and inclusive environment for pupils with allergies.

Staff will gain the knowledge and confidence to:

  • Understand allergy risks and anaphylaxis
  • Recognise early signs of a severe allergic reaction
  • Administer adrenaline safely and effectively
  • Understand the use of spare adrenaline auto-injectors in school
  • Follow correct procedures for emergency response

By ensuring all staff are trained, your school can reduce risk, respond confidently to emergencies, and meet upcoming statutory requirements. Equip your team now to ensure your school is ready for the new legal requirement and able to safeguard pupils with allergies effectively.
