Benidicts Law Training

Online Allergy And Anaphylaxis Awareness for Schools

The Department for Education in England requires ALL school staff to undertake training in line with Benedict’s Law, effective in schools
from September 2026. On completion a verified CPD statement is provided. 

The aim of this online course is to enable school staff to recognise and respond appropriately to allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, within educational settings. It supports schools in meeting current national guidance and strengthened allergy safety expectations linked to Benedict's Law.

The course includes practical video demonstrations showing the correct use of adrenaline medication (including adrenaline auto-injectors and the EURneffy® nasal spray), as well as basic life support (CPR) and AED use during an anaphylactic emergency.

The course may also be used as part of a blended learning programme, with a follow-up practical session providing hands-on familiarisation with adrenaline trainer devices and practical CPR/AED skills where schools wish to provide additional face-to-face training or competency
assessment. Remote First Aid provides a 3 hour BLS / CPR / AED for schools programme, and can support schools across GB.
