HEADS Training in partnership with Hadrian School are now running a 1-hour twilight session on AAI (Adrenaline Auto Injectors).
Training is now becoming statutory in Sept 2026 for all schools, and HEADS Training can help you!
Due to the tragic death of Benedict Blythe in 2021 who died from anaphylaxis due to an allergic reaction at school, his family have fighting to keep children safe in the school environment, please see more information below:
Being a provider of First Aid to many local schools, we are very passionate about creating awareness of what might come, and what schools can do to keep staff and children safe on site. If this bill is passed, schools will have a responsibility to complete regular training on anaphylaxis, as well as have an AAI on site.
Please see below the new training course we can deliver to your school as a twilight session, or this can be delivered to smaller groups if you wish:
1 hour session training session includes:
- Schools Allergy Register Bill (Benedicts Bill) and what it means for schools
- Common causes of Anaphylaxis
- Different body responses
- Why pens need to be near students
- The need for spare AAI pens in schools
- Urgent Recognition
- Management including practice AAI’s
The cost of this session is £325, and we can train your whole school staff in just 1 hour!
Schools are now expected to take clear, demonstrable action to improve allergy awareness, prevention, and emergency response. This represents a major step toward consistent, life-saving protections in every school, not optional best practice but expected compliance for all schools in England.
The new statutory guidance is being consulted on and will be published in July 2026 ahead of implementation in September 2026, bringing schools closer than ever to formalising the core aims of Benedict’s Law, one of the requirements is for schools to have allergy training.
