Benedict Coffin from the Department for Education (DfE) has provided further insight into its plans for strengthening allergy safety in schools during a recent online session organised by the Allergy Team.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a consultation on The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR). Here's what you need to know.

The Government’s schools white paper, Every child achieving and thriving, and the SEND consultation, Putting Children and Young People First, set out a major proposed restructuring of the schools and SEND system in England.

A recent incident in Scotland serves as a timely reminder of what can happen if things go wrong for schools in terms of allergy management, even prior to the implementation of Benedict's Law and the new statutory guidance.
