  • Why do I have to buy for a minimum of 10 staff?

    We encourage a whole school allergy awareness approach and training of both teaching and non-teaching staff, as this is the safest way to manage pupils with allergies. The more staff who are allergy aware and can recognise the signs of anaphylaxis, the safer all pupils with allergies in school will be.

    You can buy for more than 10 staff, however, 10 is the minimum purchase.

    As well as our updated and improved online training, our course also includes additional benefits: allergy awareness lesson resource packs included with ready-to-use lesson plans, presentations and activities, to encourage whole-school allergy awareness and inclusivity of all pupils. Plus the opportunity to achieve our AllergyWise® School award.

  • What if I don’t need to buy for 10 staff?

    10 is the minimum purchase. Once purchased, you will be able to use the course places for 12 months, so if you have any staff changes, new staff members, ad-hoc staff etc. then these staff can also be trained. 

    For individuals, we have a wealth of information and resources on our website, including our Safer Schools Programme.

  • I did the course last year, why does it cost more now?

    Our AllergyWise® for Schools course has been updated and improved. The content is evidence-based, clinically reviewed, and includes practical scenarios relevant to schools. The course now includes updated modules, quizzes, final assessment (80% pass mark), images and videos, plus optional narration of lessons and a personalised digital certificate of completion. The course also has downloadable allergy awareness lesson resources for primary and secondary schools included with lesson plans and many activities to use with pupils, and schools who purchase our course are also eligible for our AllergyWise® School award. 

    As a charity, we receive no taxpayer funding, meaning every penny we raise through fundraising, donations and course sales allows us to continue our work to support people at risk of life-threatening allergic reactions.

  • My school has previously bulk purchased the course for more than 10 staff and we're looking to purchase again. How do we get the 20% discount?

    If your school has previously bulk purchased our AllergyWise® for Schools course for 10 or more staff and you’re looking to purchase again, please use this contact form to get in touch. You will be sent a 20% discount code to apply before purchasing the course.
