Schools To Stock Adrenalin Pens And Train Teachers After 5-Year-Old's Death

Benedict Blythe died after being accidentally exposed to an allergen at school.

The parents of a five-year-old boy who died after accidentally being exposed to an allergen at school have welcomed the government’s new allergy plans for schools.

On 1 December 2021, Benedict Blythe went to school, as normal, yet a few hours later, his dad Peter received a call to say he’d been sick. When he arrived to pick up his son, it became clear he was seriously unwell.

Peter began CPR until an ambulance arrived.
