    Level 2 Award in Food Allergy Awareness (Early Years) | E-Learning

    Allergen awareness for those working with the most vulnerable food allergy group of all.

    Children are disproportionately affected by food allergies. Their immune systems are still developing, reactions can be severe and rapid, and they are often unable to communicate their own dietary requirements clearly or reliably. For those working in early years settings, including nurseries, pre-schools, childminders, breakfast clubs and after-school provision, getting allergen management right is not just a legal obligation. It is a direct safeguard for the children in their care.

    This Ofqual-accredited Level 2 Award in Food Allergy Awareness has been developed specifically for early years catering and childcare staff. It covers the same legislative framework as our general Level 2 Allergy Awareness course, including the Food Information Regulations 2014 and the Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019 (Natasha’s Law, which came into force on 1 October 2021), with the content and examples contextualised throughout for early years practice and settings.

    The course is accredited by Qualifi, an Ofqual-regulated UK Awarding Organisation.

     

    What You Will Learn

    • The 14 major allergens as defined in the Food Information Regulations 2014, including their sources and common hidden forms
    • The difference between a food allergy, a food intolerance and coeliac disease, and why these distinctions matter in a childcare context
    • The legal duties of food business operators and individual food handlers under the Food Information Regulations 2014 and Natasha’s Law
    • How food allergies and anaphylaxis present in young children, and why speed of response matters
    • Your immediate responsibilities if you suspect a child in your care is having an allergic reaction, including when and how to use an auto-injector (EpiPen or equivalent)
    • Cross-contamination risk in early years catering: how allergens transfer through shared equipment, surfaces and storage
    • Prevention strategies specific to early years settings, including menu planning, ingredient checking, labelling, and communicating with parents and carers
    • Recording and communicating allergy information accurately within your setting

    We offer both Chris Garland Training certified options and fully accredited courses. The primary operational difference is the external registration fee; selecting an Ofqual-regulated certificate incurs an additional charge of £12.50 per person.
