Tn this case it became clear that Ana'$ school is already taking the step to include within their first aid training for staff sepsis awareness. This case clearly demonstrates how awful this condition is and how tragic the consequences are if it left untreated_ My report is therefore written to consider raising sepsis awareness within all schools_ At the conclusion of the inquest I requested that Ana's school provide any additional information which may assist with this and they have emailed the following "Iwonder if you would be kind enough to pass this email to H M Senior Coroner. It is response to her request that BGS (Bristol Grammar School) assist in relation to her proposed PFD report to raise awareness of sepsis in schools. We respectfully submit that the Coroner should write to the Secretary of State for Education and ask him to draw the attention of the DfE Health and Safety team to her proposed PFD report: The ability of a healthy teenager to compensate for sepsis symptoms is frightening and BGS is determined to do all it can to raise awareness of this issue with the aim of preventing any future tragedies Andrew Dimberline has secured the agreement of the Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel (OEAP) and the UK Sepsis Trust that they will produce a guidance document on SEPSIS awareness and add this to the OEAP National Guidance website (https /Loeapng infoL) (the Headmaster of BGS) and (BGS staff first aid trainer) are currently liaising with the UK Sepsis trust Jof the Sepsis Trust and Dr have met recently and discussed the nature of this guidance and have also suggested that in addition to written guidance they will produce a short video for use in training School staff there will be a link to this in the OEAP guidance document BGS will fund the production of this guidance by donation to the UK Sepsis Trust and the ongoing cost of keeping it updated through an annual contribution to the OEAP. The OEAP guidance document will be produced and available to Schools for the start of the Autumn Term 2021. We are looking to launch the guidance to coincide with World Sepsis on 12 Sept 2021 in order to the maximum publicity. We would hope that the OEAP guidance document will then be something the DfE and other organisations could then to 'signpost to' in their own advice, DfE Health and safety Guidance for School visits currently signposts to OEAP Guidance in general see point 8 in https LLWWW gOV uklgovernment/publications/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits OEAP guidance is also endorsed by the HSE (see https:]Loeapng infolendorsementsL) BGS will promote the guidance document to Independent School organisations HMC; GDST, ISBA.
