A Law Born of Tragedy, but Will it be Enough? The introduction of Benedict's Law in English schools marks a significant step forward in allergy training and safety protocols.
The law comes after a high profile campaign by the parents of five year old Benedict Blythe, who died after an accidental exposure to cow's milk protein at his primary school.
This tragedy has sparked a long overdue overhaul of school allergy training, with measures that will ensure schools have lifesaving equipment on hand and staff are properly trained to respond in emergencies.
