Is your school ready for Benedict's Law this September?

From September, schools will need to ensure they are prepared for the changes introduced through Benedict's Law. Now is the time to review your allergy procedures and make sure your staff have the knowledge and confidence to respond to an anaphylactic emergency.

Anaphylaxis awareness training should be refreshed annually, helping staff remain confident in recognising the signs of anaphylaxis, responding quickly and understanding their role in keeping pupils safe.

Our 1 hour 30 minute Anaphylaxis Awareness course is designed specifically for schools and school-based nurseries and includes:
✅ Understanding Benedict's Law and what it means for schools
✅ Recognising the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis
✅ Correct use of adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs)
✅ Allergy awareness, emergency response and reducing risk

✔️ 1 hour 30 minutes interactive training
✔️ Certificates for every delegate
✔️ Twilight sessions available – ideal for INSET and after-school training
✔️ Delivered at your school by an experienced trainer

Protect your pupils. Support your staff. Strengthen your school's allergy awareness and emergency preparedness.

“How Long Does Training Take?”

One of the most common questions I get from nursery managers:
“How long does the training take?”

The answer depends on the course…

But what matters most is this 👇

We help you choose the most time-efficient option for your nursery.

Including:
📚 Blended learning
🏠 On-site face to face

⏰ Nursery managers already juggle enough… staffing, ratios, safeguarding, inspections, parent communication — the list never ends.

That’s why paediatric first aid training needs to be SIMPLE, practical, and easy to organise.

The right training provider should help make the process stress-free while ensuring your team feels confident handling emergencies involving babies and young children.

Good paediatric first aid training helps staff:
✔ Respond quickly in emergencies
✔ Meet EYFS requirements
✔ Build confidence in the workplace

🚨 New allergy safety guidance is coming to schools from September 2026 — known as Benedict’s Law — and it could save lives.

Named after 5-year-old Benedict Blythe, who tragically died following an allergic reaction at school, this new legislation is pushing for stronger allergy awareness and emergency response procedures across all schools in England.

Under Benedict’s Law, schools are expected to:

✔️ Train ALL staff to recognise and respond to anaphylaxis
✔️ Keep spare adrenaline auto-injectors (EpiPens) on site
✔️ Have clear whole-school allergy policies
✔️ Create individual care plans for pupils with allergies

Why does this matter?
Because allergic reactions can escalate within minutes, and fast action can mean the difference between life and death. With food allergies continuing to rise in children, schools need confidence, awareness, and proper training to keep pupils safe.

For schools, teachers, support staff, and parents — this is an important step toward creating safer learning environments for every child. ❤️

🩹 Paediatric First Aid Training doesn’t have to be complicated for nursery managers

Managing a nursery means balancing compliance, staff development, child safety, and daily operations — often all at once. Organising paediatric first aid training can feel like another overwhelming task on an already full schedule.

But effective training should actually reduce stress, not add to it.

The best paediatric first aid courses are:
✔ Easy to arrange around staffing needs
✔ Practical and hands-on
✔ Designed specifically for childcare settings
✔ Focused on real-life emergency situations
✔ Clear on EYFS requirements and compliance

Paediatric first aid is one of the most important areas of training in early years settings because emergencies involving children require different responses compared to adults.

Updated EYFS guidance also continues to reinforce the importance of qualified paediatric first aiders being available within early years environments. (gov.uk)

Many nursery professionals also say confidence and practical delivery are just as important as certification itself when choosing training providers. Community discussions regularly highlight how hands-on learning makes staff feel far more prepared in real emergencies. (reddit.com)

HMB Training Services helps nursery managers simplify the process with accredited training tailored for busy childcare settings.
