From September 2026, Benedict’s Law will require all state schools in England to follow clear allergy safety procedures and be prepared for emergencies.
Key requirements for schools include;
- Developing and publishing a dedicated allergy safety policy on their website
- Mandatory Allergy & Anaphylaxis Training for all staff
- Emergency medication to be kept in stock and in date for emergency use on a child or adult
- Create individual care plans for affected pupils.
Mandatory training and compliance requirements for all our candidates are updated from September to ensure we are meeting the requirements of Benedict’s Law.
All candidates must complete Allergy & Anaphylaxis Training before they can be placed in a school. This requirement applies to all new placements from September onwards, including those placed through our preferred agency partners, and forms part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children in education.
The Supply Register will ensure that:
- All candidates are made aware of this requirement during the registration and compliance process.
- Candidates complete the required Allergy & Anaphylaxis Training before we clear them for work.
- No candidate is placed in a school unless they have successfully completed this training and it is recorded in their compliance file.
We work with the National College to provide the training candidates need to be ready to work in education. Allergy & Anaphylaxis Training now forms part of our mandatory training requirements, alongside Safeguarding, Prevent and FGM Training.
These requirements apply to all candidates working through The Supply Register, including those supplied by our approved agency partners, ensuring that every candidate meets the same rigorous compliance and safeguarding standards before being placed in a school.
We follow this process to ensure we remain compliant with current legislation and continue to provide schools with candidates who meet our rigorous compliance requirements.
At The Supply Register, we take uncompromising responsibility for safeguarding and the quality of the candidates we provide. Our APSCo Compliance+ accreditation further demonstrates our commitment to going beyond statutory safeguarding requirements and maintaining the highest standards of compliance.
