Course Overview
Spill Kit Training: Anaphylaxis & Allergy Training for Schools & Carers is designed to ensure every child with allergies receives safe, competent, and confident care in educational and childcare settings. Allergic reactions can escalate rapidly, and without proper preparation, a mild episode can progress into a life-threatening emergency. This course builds a strong understanding of allergy awareness, symptom recognition, prevention strategies, and emergency response procedures so that staff can protect vulnerable children and act without hesitation.
Learners explore how allergies affect children differently, why triggers must be monitored carefully, and how personalised care planning prevents incidents. The training highlights how schools and carers can work collaboratively with parents, healthcare professionals, and support staff to ensure children have safe environments, proper supervision, and clear communication strategies. It also explains how healthcare plans should be created, shared, and reviewed to support safe participation in daily activities, events, and school routines.
A key focus of this course is understanding anaphylaxis—what it looks like, how fast symptoms progress, and which immediate actions can save lives. Learners develop confidence in recognising severe reactions, contacting emergency services, administering auto-injectors, and following essential post-incident procedures. In addition, the course covers best practices for school allergy policies, staff responsibilities, record keeping, medication storage, and awareness across the full school community.
By the end of this training, learners will be able to support allergic children with knowledge, empathy, and professionalism. The course empowers schools and carers to reduce risk, reassure parents, and create safer environments where every child can learn, play, and thrive confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
A severe allergic reaction (i.e. anaphylaxis) involves a person’s breathing and/or circulation. Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of an allergic reaction and is life threatening. An important aspect of allergy and anaphylaxis management is prevention by avoiding the cause.
Anaphylaxis is a common medical emergency and a life-threatening acute hypersensitivity reaction.
Allergy testing may be recommended if the doctor suspects an allergy is the cause of anaphylaxis. This will usually include a blood test for allergen specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) or skin prick testing (SPT), to help confirm or rule out allergy triggers.
These stages include:
- Stage 1. Your symptoms are mild. You might not know yet if you’re having an anaphylactic reaction. .
- Stage 2. Your symptoms are now worse and on more of your body.
- Stage 3. As your symptoms get worse, you may have trouble breathing.
- Stage 4. Your symptoms are now life-threatening.
Treatment of anaphylaxis should be based on general life-support principles: • Call for help early. Use the Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure (ABCDE) approach to recognise and treat problems. Treat the greatest threat to life first.
