At Elmtree Learning Partnership, we ensure all our students are safeguarded and supported from the moment they arrive at one of our sites. The safety of our pupils is our top priority, which is why we’re committed to ensuring all our staff and resources are fully prepared to respond effectively in the event of an allergic emergency.

The implementation of Benedict’s Law (The School Allergy Safety Bill) will ensure every school becomes a safer space for children who could suffer from a severe allergic reaction. By September 2026, all schools will be required to store adrenaline pens on-site, prepare personalised medical plans for every pupil with a known allergy and provide in-depth allergy training for all adult staff.

To strengthen our allergy awareness, Elmtree Learning Partnership has partnered with Kitt Medical. An award-winning provider of allergy management solutions which supplies life-saving adrenaline pens, online CPD training and a wall-mounted emergency Kitt to ensure all schools are fully equipped in the face of a crisis.

With the support of Kitt Medical, all our staff have received in-depth training on allergy awareness, incident reporting and medication management to ensure we know the exact steps to take in an emergency.

Plus, each one of our sites has been equipped with a wall-mounted Anaphylaxis Kitt, which is securely stored on-site and stocked with adrenaline pens that are automatically replaced before their expiry date or immediately after use. A crucial measure to assure we always have life-saving devices available.

From a safety perspective, Kitt Medical has spread valuable allergy awareness across our community. Our teaching staff are fully equipped on what to do if the unexpected happens and we can ensure the best possible treatments to our learners when it is necessary.
