Following the introduction of the new DfE statutory guidance from September 2026, allergy and anaphylaxis awareness has become an increasingly important part of keeping children and young people safe in education settings.
๐ฉโ๐ซ WHO SHOULD RECEIVE THE TRAINING?
Allergy emergencies don't only happen in the classroom. That's why this training is suitable for staff throughout the school, including:
โ
Teachers

โค๏ธ WHY IS THIS TRAINING IMPORTANT?
Anaphylaxis can develop rapidly. Staff need to be able to recognise the warning signs, act quickly and understand the correct use of adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs).
Our practical training covers key areas including:
๐น Understanding allergies and anaphylaxis
๐น Recognising the signs and symptoms
๐น Knowing when an allergic reaction is becoming an emergency
๐น Correct use of adrenaline auto-injectors
๐น Correct positioning of someone experiencing anaphylaxis
๐น What to do while waiting for emergency medical assistance
๐น Building confidence to respond effectively
General first aid training is extremely valuable, but dedicated allergy and anaphylaxis training gives school staff greater focus on this specific medical emergency.
๐ Training delivered at your school across the North East, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Northumberland, Durham and surrounding areas.
