This week in assembly, the children learned about Benedict’s Law, which was introduced following the tragic loss of a young boy, Benedict Blythe, who suffered a fatal allergic reaction. The aim of the law is to raise awareness of severe allergies and help everyone understand how to keep people with allergies safe.

​

We discussed:

The 14 main allergens** that can cause allergic reactions, including nuts, peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soya, fish, shellfish, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, sulphur dioxide and molluscs.

​

🚨 What anaphylaxis is, and how to recognise the signs of a severe allergic reaction. Children learned that symptoms can include:

* Difficulty breathing or wheezing
​
* Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat
​
* Feeling dizzy or faint
​
* A sudden rash or hives
​
* Becoming very unwell very quickly

🤝 Why we must never share food in school. Even a small amount of an allergen can make someone with a severe allergy extremely poorly. Children were reminded that sharing snacks, lunches or treats can be dangerous.

🥜 Being a Nut Aware School.* # # talked about the importance of helping to keep our school safe for everyone by not bringing nut-based products into school where possible and being mindful of the foods we send in packed lunches.

​

We were extremely proud of how thoughtfully the children engaged with this important topic. By learning about allergies and understanding how to keep each other safe, we are helping to create a caring and inclusive school community where everyone can learn and thrive.

​

Thank you for your continued support in reinforcing these important messages at home. Together, we can help ensure our school remains a safe environment for all children. ​ allergyawareness
