Reduce allergy risks. Recognise the signs. Respond with confidence.

Allergies are an important health and safety consideration in every education setting. Schools, academies and trusts need effective arrangements to reduce allergy risks, support pupils with known allergies and ensure staff know how to respond if a serious allergic reaction occurs.

Our Allergy and Anaphylaxis Training for Education Settings has been developed specifically for school staff. It provides practical guidance on allergy awareness, risk reduction, recognising allergic reactions and responding appropriately to anaphylaxis.

This online course helps staff understand their role in creating an allergy-aware school environment and gives them the knowledge and confidence to act quickly and appropriately in an emergency.
