First Aid for Schools

This course is designed to equip staff dealing with older school aged childred with the confidence and skills to deal with a first aid incident, and fulfill the employer's requirement to assess the first aid needs of the workplace and to ensure that adequate numbers of 'suitable persons' are provided to administer first aid.

The correct response to give first aid to injured persons once an accident has occurred is of vital importance.

First aid provides treatment for the purpose of preserving life and minimising the consequences of injury or illness until medical help arrives. It also provides treatment of minor injuries, which would otherwise receive no treatment.

Delegates on this course will receive an attendance certificate to show that they have received training under The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981(supported by an Approved Code of Practice, revised 1997).
