There has been a recent announcement that schools will soon be able to hold a spare adrenaline auto-injector pen for use on children. These will be available for anyone to administer in the case of anaphylactic shock. This has been something that has been campaigned for by several organisations, including the Anaphylaxis Campaign alongside Allergy UK, The British Society for Allergy & Clinical Immunology (BSACI) and British Paediatric Allergy Immunity and Infection Group (BPAIIG).
The legislation for this is likely to be in place by October this year (2017). The way this appears to be worded is that the spare adrenaline auto-injectors will be available to administer to children, it does not mention staff being able to administer to other staff.
