The course helps staff recognise the signs of anaphylaxis and respond quickly and confidently in an emergency.

Helping pupils with allergies

Every school is likely to have at least one pupil who is severely food allergic, and many schools will have more. Peanut allergy is particularly common with 1 in 70 children nationwide thought to be affected. We are encouraging an approach to managing severe allergies that can be adopted throughout your organisation, as allergic children are rarely with the first aid officer when they start to become ill, and the wrong action taken by untrained staff can be very dangerous for a child. 

Our training is delivered in line with current DfE guidance, Resuscitation Council UK recommendations, and the requirements of Benedict's Law relating to allergy awareness and anaphylaxis preparedness in schools. 

​

This short course is included in our 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course.​
