Benedict\u0026#39;s Law is a set of national protections designed to improve allergy safety in schools. Currently these protections are agreed to come into force in England, but campaigning continues to extend to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. These measures ensure that schools have the policies, training and emergency medication needed to recognise and respond to severe allergic reactions. The measures were developed following the death of five-year-old Benedict Blythe, who died from anaphylaxis at school in 2021. His family established the Benedict Blythe Foundation and worked with clinicians, allergy charities and policymakers to lead a campaign for government to address long-standing gaps in how schools manage life-threatening allergies. In 2026, the English Government confirmed that the principles of Benedict\u0026#39;s Law will be implemented through new statutory guidance on supporting children with medical conditions and allergies in schools, and will also be enshrined in primary legislation, making these protections part of the legal framework governing all schools in England. ... Benedict\u0026#39;s Law introduces a consistent national framework for allergy safety in schools. Core measures include: ... These measures aim to ensure that every school has the systems in place to respond quickly and effectively to allergic emergencies. ... Publish final statutory guidance by July 2026. Introduce legislative provisions to place Benedict\u0026#39;s Law into primary legislation. Implement the new framework in schools. The protections are expected to come into force from September, giving schools time to prepare and implement the required measures. ... Allergy is common, serious and potentially life-threatening in school settings. * Around two children in every classroom have an allergy. * Schools are one of the most common locations for severe allergic reactions outside the home. * Up to 30% of severe reactions occur in children with no prior diagnosis. ... As the inquest into Benedict\u0026#39;s death begins, his family continues to advocate for the safety of every child. Their hope is simple: no family should face what they have endured. ... Campaigning for Benedict\u0026#39;s Law. BBF launched Benedict\u0026#39;s Law to ensure every child with allergies is safe at school. Backed by leading allergy charities, unions and industry, the campaign has received strong public support through petitions with families using their lived experience and compassion for the case to urgently call for national reform. His family have secured the support of MPs and seen the issue responded to by Prime Ministers, Secretary of State for Education, and debated several times across House of Commons and House of Lords.
