About The Course

Certificate in Food Allergy Awareness and Anaphylaxis (2022-23)

Course Duration: 17 minutes (approx.)

As per section 100 of the Children and Families Act 2014, schools have a legal obligation to support their pupils with any medical conditions, including food allergies. Schools must comply with certain statutory guidance, such as providing students with allergen ingredients’ information for the food they serve (Food Information Regulations 2014) to fulfil their legal responsibilities. Failure to comply with relevant training or with statutory guidance could have severe consequences.

Our Essential CPD Course in food allergies provides you and your staff with the core content you need to ensure you are protecting your students from food-related allergic reactions. Delivered in high-quality video CPD format that has been skilfully organised for busy workloads and is accessible on any device, anytime, anywhere, our food allergy awareness training has been designed to provide maximum learning potential in the leanest, most cost-effective and most time-efficient manner.

Delivered by qualified Emergency Ambulance Medic, Samantha Kendall, this course has been divided into four easy-to-digest modules and contains links to further learning, resources, and case studies. It also has an assessment test at the end to help you evidence your compliance.

This course is designed in line with the following policies:

  • The Food Safety Act 1990
  • The Food Hygiene (Amendment) Regulations 1990
  • The Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 1990
  • The Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991

Learning outcomes:
