The Allergy Aware Pack bundles 9 original, ready-to-use documents from HeadteacherChat's resource library into one digital download — built by practising school leaders.
Prepared ahead of Benedict's Law (DfE revised statutory guidance, expected September 2026) and the renewed Ofsted inspection framework (REIF, effective 7 September 2026). The DfE published statutory allergy safety guidance on 6 July 2026. Check current official wording on GOV.UK and adapt documents accordingly.
What's inside:
- Section 1: Creating a dedicated allergy safety policy
- Section 2: Stock Emergency Medication — Guidelines for Managing Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs)
- Section 3: Staff Training — Allergy and anaphylaxis training and action plan
- Section 4: Individual Healthcare Plans (IHPs) — implementing allergy management plans
- Section 5: Incident Reporting Processes — key steps and guidelines
- Section 6: Managing Food Substitutions Safely — allergen risk guidance for leaders
- Section 7: PPDS Food Labelling — Understanding Natasha's Law requirements
- Section 8: Allergy safety and Ofsted's school inspection toolkit (from September 2026)

Delivered as editable Word/PDF files. Adapt the wording to your own school, trust or local authority context before use.
