Paediatric & Child First Aid Courses

Standard workplace first aid is not enough for children. Ofsted, EYFS, and the Department for Education set strict statutory frameworks. These regulations require specialist knowledge for treating infants and children. Furthermore, UK emergency response times are increasing. Consequently, an ambulance is rarely just minutes away. Because of this, school staff, nurseries, and childminders must possess immediate, definitive skills to save lives.

Our accredited paediatric qualifications help your setting meet these legal duties. In addition, they give your staff the practical competence to act decisively during an emergency.

Statutory Compliance & Risk Planning

Meeting your legal duty of care requires active planning. The Health and Safety Executive focuses primarily on protecting employees. However, educational settings must include pupils and visitors within their written first aid needs assessments. Therefore, you must document your environment thoroughly.

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 suits lower-risk environments or primary school teachers. It provides a basic certified qualification for additional support staff.
  • Basic Life Support & AED Training: This session helps settings update their emergency equipment. Consequently, your staff can confidently deploy a defibrillator for a young casualty.
