Benedict's Law - Safeguarding Children with Allergies - A UNISON Guide

Please find attached below a Guide on the newly  approved House of Lords amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill on 3 February 2026. 

 

The law establishes mandatory allergy safety measures in schools.

 

The guide sets out key requirements and staff responsibility, whilst still maintaining that the ultimate legal responsibility lies with the organisation, not the individual.
