Paradigm First Aid Training

📣 Important update for schools regarding allergy awareness and anaphylaxis training!📣

Many schools will have heard discussions about "Benedict's Law" and what this may mean for allergy management and staff training.

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act now includes provisions relating to allergy safety in schools, and the Department for Education is expected to introduce updated statutory guidance from September 2026.
At present, the final guidance has not yet been published, so there is no confirmation of:

• Exact training requirements
• Qualification standards
• Training frequency
• Whether specific courses will be mandated

However, draft proposals suggest schools should be considering:

✅ Allergy awareness
✅ Recognising allergic reactions and anaphylaxis
✅ Emergency response procedures
✅ Use of adrenaline auto-injectors
✅ A whole-school approach to allergy management

We'll continue monitoring developments and sharing updates as more information becomes available, so that the schools that we work with remain compliant.

For those wishing to follow the consultation and guidance updates directly, information is available via the Department for Education 👇

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the judges from The BIBAs for the final stage of the judging process – 'BIBAs on Tour' – as finalists in the New Business of the Year category.

What an incredible experience! The judges were welcoming, engaging, and put me completely at ease, allowing me to share the story of Paradigm First Aid Training and the work we're so passionate about.

It was a real proud moment to talk about what we do, how we do it, and what makes our approach unique. Being able to showcase the impact we have on our learners and clients reminded me just how far we've come.

A huge thank you to all of our clients who took the time to provide testimonials in support of today's visit. Your feedback played a significant role in helping us demonstrate what sets us apart, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support. 💙

Congratulations to all the other businesses in our category. We wish you the very best of luck and look forward to meeting everyone at the awards ceremony in September.
