Imagine sending your child to school, only for them never to return. This heartbreaking reality is why we must demand change now.

We stand in solidarity with families calling for Benedict's Law, a critical initiative to standardize and mandate protective measures in schools. This includes comprehensive allergy and anaphylaxis awareness, emergency response training for staff, readily available adrenaline auto-injectors, and consistent allergy policies in every educational setting.

With thousands of children in the UK living with food allergies, ensuring their safety at school is not just a legal duty, but a moral one. All children deserve to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
