This is great news.

In children, 1 in 5 fatal food-anaphylaxis occurs while the child is at school. So it is vital that school staff are prepared by knowing what to look for and knowing what to do.

Naturally, the school leader's union NAHT is concerned about how this training will be funded. They need not worry - with Mini First Aid, anaphylaxis training is already included in our accredited Emergency First Aid at Work course, which we deliver to many schools across North Devon already.

So if your school staff are in need of first aid training, get in touch with us at Mini First Aid North Devon, as we'll be able to make sure you're compliant with the new requirements at no extra cost.

The plans, due to come into force in September, follow support for Benedict's Law, a campaign to improve allergy safety in schools.
