Stronger allergy protections are coming to schools in England.
And they could save lives.

Following the tragic death of five-year-old Benedict Blythe in 2021, the UK Government has announced new measures to improve how schools prevent and respond to severe allergic reactions.

These changes are widely being referred to as “Benedict’s Law.”

From September 2026, schools will be expected to introduce stronger allergy safety measures, including:

• Spare adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) available on site so staff can respond quickly to suspected anaphylaxis.

• Allergy awareness training for school staff, helping them recognise symptoms of severe allergic reactions and understand how to respond.

• Whole-school allergy management policies covering prevention, emergency response and communication with parents.

• Individual healthcare plans for pupils with diagnosed allergies outlining triggers, symptoms and emergency treatment procedures.

Childhood allergies affect a growing number of children across the UK, and schools are one of the environments where severe reactions can occur outside the home.

These reforms aim to ensure consistent safety standards across schools, helping staff recognise anaphylaxis early and respond quickly when it matters most.

Benedict’s legacy is now helping shape safer school environments for children across England.

Training and preparedness
Alongside policy changes, practical training is an important part of improving emergency response capability.

At ACMS Training, we deliver the FAA Level 3 Award in Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis (RQF) — a 1-day course designed to equip learners with the knowledge and practical skills to recognise and manage severe allergic reactions, including the use of adrenaline auto-injectors.

Improving awareness and confidence can make a critical difference in an emergency.

💬 Discussion

For those working in education, safeguarding or first aid —

Do you feel schools currently have enough training and resources to respond effectively to anaphylaxis?

⚡ Technical Tuesday: Why IEC 61439 Matters in Control Panel Design ⚡

When it comes to industrial control panels, safety and reliability aren’t just goals: they’re requirements. At ACMS, we often get asked about the standards we follow. One of the most critical is IEC 61439.

But why does it matter for your operations?

1️⃣ Safety Assurance: The standard ensures that the assembly is safe for both personnel and the environment, minimizing risks like electrical shocks or fires.
2️⃣ Performance Consistency: It defines the service conditions, construction requirements, and verification of assemblies to ensure they perform reliably under specific electrical loads.
3️⃣ Clear Documentation: Compliance means every component is documented and verified, making maintenance and future upgrades much more straightforward.

Whether we are designing for onshore manufacturing or demanding offshore environments, adhering to these high industry standards is how we ensure your systems are built to last.

Looking for a reliable partner for your next control panel project? Let’s talk.

Love isn’t just in the air today… it’s in the circuits too. ❤️⚡

Behind every reliable process, every automated system, and every safe operation, there’s precision, logic and a little bit of engineering “spark”.

In the world of electrical engineering and industrial control systems, we design panels that think, protect, and respond in milliseconds — quietly keeping industries running 24/7. From PLC logic to carefully terminated control wiring, from fault diagnostics to system optimisation, it’s all about creating connections that work flawlessly under pressure.

This Valentine’s Day, here’s to:

❤️ Well-designed control panels that never let us down
⚙️ Systems that respond exactly when they’re needed
🔌 Circuits that are perfectly balanced
💡 And engineers who put their heart into every project

Because whether it’s in relationships or relay logic… good connections matter.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone powering the world behind the scenes.

❤️ This Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about giving more than flowers… let’s talk about giving someone a second chance at life.

When someone goes into cardiac arrest, every second counts. Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. Yet many people still hesitate — unsure of what to do, worried about doing it wrong, or feeling uncomfortable stepping forward.

The truth is simple:
Doing something is always better than doing nothing.

💓 Push hard.
💓 Push fast.
💓 Call 999.
💓 Use an AED if available.

CPR isn’t about perfection — it’s about action.

On a day that celebrates love, kindness and connection, there’s no greater act of love than having the confidence and skills to save someone’s life. It could be a partner, a family member, a friend, a colleague… or even a stranger.

Let’s break down the barriers, build confidence, and make life-saving skills something everyone feels empowered to use.

Because sometimes, the most powerful way to say “I care” is knowing how to save a life. ❤️
