Burnley, Lancashire–(Newsfile Corp. – February 19, 2025) – Essential Food Hygiene announced today the launch of its nationwide Level 2 Allergy Awareness Course for UK schools. The program aims to address the growing need for professional allergy training in educational institutions, where 1 in 13 children are affected by food allergies.

The initiative comes at a critical time when food allergies in children are rising. Essential Food Hygiene‘s Level 2 Allergy Awareness Course provides schools with an independently accredited solution to enhance their allergy management protocols and keep pupils safe.
Many school staff currently lack the necessary knowledge to identify and respond to life- threatening allergic reactions. Schools have a legal and moral duty to ensure their teams are trained to recognize common allergens, prevent cross-contamination, and respond swiftly in emergencies.
The Level 2 Allergy Awareness Course helps schools understand and comply with allergy safety guidelines, trains staff to identify allergens and prevent cross-contamination, provides essential knowledge on recognizing and responding to allergic reactions, and supports schools in creating safer environments for students with allergies.
“Every school must be fully prepared to protect children with allergies,” said Jo Kerry, founder of Essential Food Hygiene. “Our training ensures staff have the essential knowledge needed to prevent avoidable tragedies.”
The Level 2 Allergy Awareness Course is available online, allowing staff to complete training at their own pace. Schools can enroll their teams today at: https://essentialfoodhygiene.co.uk/product/level-2-allergy-awareness/.
“This isn’t just a box-ticking exercise-it’s about saving lives,” added Kerry. “We encourage every school to take proactive steps and ensure their staff are properly trained.”
