Nearly 1 in 12 children in the UK now suffer from a food allergy – a figure that continues to rise. For boarding schools, the responsibility of managing allergens goes beyond mealtimes, requiring 24/7 vigilance and a clear understanding of evolving legislation.
Even with robust systems in place, many schools find it challenging to stay up to date with guidance and legal requirements. That’s where allmanhall can help.
We provide schools with expert allergen support, including tailored training delivered by our Registered Dietitian, Tess Warnes. From practical guidance on legal compliance to best-practice foodservice procedures, our training empowers catering teams to handle allergens safely and confidently, every day.
Tess’s training is known for being transformative. St Mary’s Calne shared:
“allmanhall’s training was incredibly helpful, interactive and engaging. We have made a number of changes since Tess’s visit, including implementing an allergen checklist matrix…
Whilst we already had a good system in place, this adds an additional level of safety and traceability to each dish.”
– Linda Thomas, Catering and Functions Manager
Tess will be giving a number of complimentary webinars in partnership with BSA/HEIDA for the forthcoming academic year. This term, Tess will focus on…

You may already be using Authorised Buying Lists for your catering requirements, and they can support allergy-safe foodservice, but they’re no substitute for comprehensive training and a strong culture of awareness. ABLs must work alongside – not replace – robust allergen procedures.
Don’t leave safety to chance.
