Allergy safety in schools: FREE training for schools
New Allergy safety in schools guidance – Benedict’s Law – will come into force in England from September 2026.
Schools will need to stock spare adrenaline auto-injectors, ensure all staff receive allergy training and have a dedicated allergy safety policy.
Allergy School is here to support you with free, high-quality accredited training and resources to help your school become compliant with the new allergy safety guidance, on time and with confidence.

Allergy School resources: Help children with food allergies feel empowered, included and protected.
Around 2 children in every classroom now live with a food allergy.
Like you, we want these children to feel safe and be fully included in all activities in and out of school.
Through a new, free toolkit of engaging resources, Natasha’s Foundation wants to transform understanding so that children, teachers and club leaders feel more confident around food allergy.
These are brought to life by Arlo, the friendly food-allergic armadillo puppet, who makes learning about food allergy fun and engaging.
And the great thing is that all the resources are completely free.

“I am delighted to hear of the launch of Allergy School, the new educational programme by Natasha‘s Foundation.
Improving understanding of this issue is so important for keeping children with food allergies safe and ensuring they are able to participate fully in activities at school or in our wider communities.
I am particularly heartened that my King’s Foundation has been closely involved with the project, helping all of us to become more aware of the many ways we can support one another, especially the more vulnerable in our society.”
Charles R
Food allergy is on the rise.
1 in 13 children now has a food allergy in the UK.

What people are saying about Allergy School
Stephen Morgan, Former Minister for Early Years Education 2024-2025
“The safety of our children is the most important thing both in and outside of school, and I welcome the important work being carried out by The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
I encourage all settings to make use of engaging programmes such as these, alongside taking the necessary steps to manage allergy risks as clearly set out in the government’s allergy guidance.“
Michele Barrett, Headteacher of Randolph Beresford Nursery and Primary School in London
“Many children arrive at school with known, and some unknown allergies. Having support from Allergy School and a bank of resources and information, helps to create not only policy but best practice. All schools should be allergy safe schools.”
Billie Hoque, from Luton, has three children with food allergies
Her son Jess, aged 8, is allergic to cow’s milk and has experienced several near-death allergic reactions.
“I am so pleased that Natasha’s Foundation is launching Allergy School. I have no doubt that this will save lives and also improve the mental wellbeing of our allergic children at school.”
