In an article for Food Teacher Professional, Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBE explains why September 2026 marks a landmark moment for children living with food allergies. She explores how the introduction of Benedict's Law and new statutory allergy guidance for schools in England will strengthen allergy safety, improve staff training and help create safer, more inclusive learning environments.
Tanya also reflects on why these changes matter so deeply, the role Natasha's Foundation has played in shaping the new guidance, and how Allergy School is providing free training and resources to help schools prepare.
