Calling all Schools. Are you ready for Benedict's Law? Please see details below. We will be providing this training during our Paediatric First Aid Courses. We will also provide open, face-to-face and online training sessions for all School staff to attend. This training will be fully compliant with Benedict's Law. For group bookings, we can visit your School to provide this training for your staff.

For more information. Email: info@abcmedicalservices.co.uk

Benedict's Law is a UK legislative initiative (also known as the School Allergy Safety Bill) that mandates improved, consistent allergy management in English schools, set to be implemented by September 2026. Following the 2021 death of 5-year-old Benedict Blythe, it requires schools to hold, train staff on, and use adrenaline auto-injectors, alongside comprehensive allergy policies.

Benedict Blythe Foundation
Key Requirements of Benedict's Law (from September 2026):
Mandatory Training: All staff members, including teachers, assistants, and lunch supervisors, must receive training on spotting anaphylaxis symptoms and using adrenaline auto-injectors.
Stocked Auto-Injectors: Schools must have a supply of "spare" adrenaline pens to treat allergic reactions.

Individual Allergy Plans: Every student with a known allergy must have a documented Individual Healthcare Plan (IHP).

Comprehensive Policies: Schools are required to have a clear "whole-school" food allergy policy.
Annual Refresher Training: Staff should have annual refresher training on allergy management.

The law aims to move beyond voluntary guidance and make these safety measures mandatory across all schools, ensuring a consistent standard of care regardless of location. The campaign was spearheaded by the Benedict Blythe Foundation, founded by Benedict's parents.

Another demo kit arrived today from the wonderful people at
LifeVac Europe Ltd. Very quick delivery and ready for me to demonstrate on tomorrow's course.

This LifeVac is essential in any area where there is a risk of choking. It's perfect for use on people in a wheelchair, and also in a scenario where a rescuer is unable to get their arms around a casualty to perform abdominal thrusts.
It can also be used by yourself if you are choking whilst alone!

A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time, including marathon runners. Thankfully for Michelle, bystanders were able to act quickly in starting CPR, saving her life.
