Anaphylaxis Kitts for Schools
It’s time we got proactive about allergy care in education.
Watch the video below to learn why Kitts should be a key part of the safeguarding policies at your school.
What’s included:
-
Anaphylaxis Kitt
Securely wall-mounted, our Kitts are designed to be visible and accessible.
We provide four keys with every Kitt as well as an emergency key box, and once unlocked, the Kitt can be carried to the emergency.
-
Adrenaline Pens
We guarantee a subscription of adrenaline pens with every Anaphylaxis Kitt.
You’ll receive new pens before the old ones expire, or if they’re reported as used in an incident. -
CPD Training
Our 30-minute CPD-accredited training course consists of online videos & questions.
Featuring Anaphylaxis UK, Professor Adam Fox, Dr Helen Evans-Howells, and more.
-
Online Portal
Keep track of your Kitt subscription through our online web portal.
We designed clear views to track adrenaline expiry dates, training completions, Kitt locations and checkups, and much more.
We’re trusted by 500+ schools across the UK.
Allergy care has never been so simple. From small independent primaries to large secondaries and multi-academy trusts, we support the whole education sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We know that adrenaline pens can be quite hard to source, and that often they have very short shelf lives.
That’s why we’re so excited that we can offer an all-in-one service, giving you guaranteed long-life adrenaline pens, automatically replenished before they expire, and easily stored in our accessible wall-mounted Kitts (rather than a locked cupboard somewhere in your school). We also replenish any pens that are used at no extra cost if you report an incident on our Portal.
Many schools face issues with training as it’s often costly (in both time and money) to organise, and often staff don’t even turn up to do it.
That’s why we include unlimited CPD-accredited Anaphylaxis Kitt training right into the subscription package, with 30 minutes of instantly accessible, easily digestible videos on allergy and anaphylaxis followed by quiz questions. Also, through our Kitt Portal, you can track who’s completed the training (and who hasn’t), making it easy to audit.
Overall, hundreds of schools across the UK consistently call us a ‘no-brainer’ - find out why by signing up with our service today.

If you’ve got a child with allergies at school then we’d love to help you get Kitts installed there. We’ve had a few PTA’s and local groups fund Kitts too, which is an option.
We’ve put together a leaflet with info about our Anaphylaxis Kitts for schools for you to pass on/present to your school - click here to access it.
We also work with a lot of school academy trusts around the country and can come present a talk on Understand Allergies & Anaphylaxis At School - if you’re interested, get in touch with us by emailing team@kittmedical.com

We've seen a few organisations, PTA groups, and individuals raise funding for Kitts in their local schools.
Some amazing examples of this include:
Please keep in mind that multiple years' worth of funding needs to be secured as our Kitts come as an annual subscription contract to ensure the adrenaline pens (& training) are consistently supplied.
Interested in raising funds? We recommend starting a page on Crowdfunder.
Anaphylaxis happens more in school than in any other setting outside the home in the UK.
On average, 1 to 2 children in every UK school classroom live with an allergy.
In 2018, almost 8,000 deaths across the UK mentioned anaphylaxis on their death certificate.
And whilst schools regularly put in place ‘no nut policies’, 26% of food allergy deaths in school-aged children are caused by cows milk allergy.
But here’s a wake-up call: 1 in 3 UK schools DON'T have an allergy policy in place, including proper training for staff, and most don’t keep a spare set of adrenaline pens in case of emergency.

“I don’t know what would have happened without the Anaphylaxis Kitt there.”
Anaphylaxis can occur at any time, even in people who have no known allergies and don’t have their own adrenaline pens.
Our Kitts have treated many life-threatening allergic reactions in schools, including those in staff and students.
Our CPD-accredited training course.
Our online training course is included with every Kitt subscription and accessible to all your staff.
“We wanted to ensure the 30 schools in our trust had a standardised approach to allergy management.”
"When we saw the service that Kitt Medical offered, it ticked all the boxes and more in terms of ensuring a reliable supply of spare adrenaline pens, an eye-catching and secure storage system, and training for the hundreds of staff members across the primary and secondary schools.
Anaphylaxis can happen when you least expect it (especially if you aren’t even aware that you have any allergies!) and we are committed to ensuring that the school communities have both proactive and reactive measures in place should the worst happen.
The process was very efficient and we’re really impressed by the work that Kitt is doing to ensure that all the bases are covered when it comes to allergy safety."
