Food Allergen Awareness & Benedict’s Law Certification
Food allergies are triggered by allergens – certain proteins found in foods. Allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms to severe, potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. This Food Allergen Awareness and Benedict’s Law Course is for anyone working with children and young people to help them understand food allergies, recognise the signs of a reaction and know how to respond appropriately.
Learners will explore the difference between food allergies, food intolerance and coeliac disease, how allergens are identified and labelled, the effects allergic reactions can have on the body, and the actions to take in an emergency.
The course also includes a dedicated module on Benedict’s Law and allergy management in schools. The module explains what this means for schools and staff, including preventing allergic reactions, recognising anaphylaxis, responding in an emergency and supporting children with allergies.
