United KingdomThe introduction of 'Benedict's Law' aims to improve allergy management in UK schools following the death of Benedict Blythe, a child from Lincolnshire who had asthma and multiple food allergies. His parents, Helen and Peter Blythe, worked with the school to create an allergy action plan, but an inquest found that the process was not properly followed. Statutory guidance requiring schools to implement specific allergy safety measures will take effect in September 2023. By 2027, these measures will become legal requirements for all types of schools in England. Research by the Benedict Blythe Foundation indicates that half of schools in England lack backup medication, a third have no allergy policies, and 70% lack some of the new measures. Education Minister Olivia Bailey praised the Blythes for their efforts in turning personal tragedy into systemic change.
