Finally, on the drafting of Amendment 209, I assume that my noble friend Lady Morgan has in mind that training on allergy awareness and administering EpiPens should be provided to all staff and therefore could easily be accommodated within the general safeguarding training required of all. I say this because there might be a temptation to restrict it to those in close contact with food and the kitchen. The reality is that, although anaphylactic shock tends to happen quickly, it can occur even several hours later, so all staff need to be trained to recognise it in environments and locations where the association might not immediately be apparent, for instance on the sports field.
