Paediatric & Child First Aid Courses

At A Glance: Standard workplace first aid is insufficient when dealing with younger casualties. Therefore, Ofsted, EYFS, and the Department for Education enforce strict statutory frameworks for early years settings. Consequently, our specialised paediatric qualifications help your organisation satisfy its legal duties and protect children effectively.

Paediatric & Child First Aid Courses

Meeting your legal duty of care requires active, documented risk planning. For example, while the Health and Safety Executive focuses primarily on protecting employees, educational settings must include pupils and visitors within their written first aid needs assessments. Furthermore, UK emergency response times are increasing across the country. As a result, school staff, nurseries, and childminders must possess immediate, definitive skills to save lives.

We provide clear training pathways to satisfy these distinct regulatory standards:

• Full Paediatric First Aid (2 Day or Blended Learning): This course fully meets the statutory requirements for Ofsted and EYFS registration. Therefore, it is essential for childminders, nursery staff, and early years practitioners.
• Emergency Paediatric First Aid (1 Day): This option perfectly suits lower-risk environments or primary school teachers. Specifically, it provides a certified qualification for additional support staff.
• Basic Life Support & AED Training: This session helps settings update their emergency capabilities. Consequently, your staff can confidently deploy a defibrillator for a young casualty.
