Our Allergy Awareness in Schools eLearning course provides school staff with clear, practical training on recognising, managing and responding to allergies and anaphylaxis in children.
With new allergy safety requirements for schools introduced under Benedict’s Law, effective allergy awareness training has never been more important. This interactive online course helps staff understand their responsibilities, recognise the early warning signs of an allergic reaction and know what action to take if a pupil experiences a serious or potentially life-threatening reaction.
The course covers common food and non-food allergens, Benedict’s Law, the symptoms of mild and severe allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, emergency response procedures and the use of adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs).
Designed specifically for schools, the training is easy to complete online and gives staff the knowledge and confidence they need to help create a safer environment for pupils with allergies.
Train your staff today and help ensure your school is prepared to recognise and respond to an allergic emergency.
