Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course
1 day course
Is your workplace prepared?
Would you know what to do if you saw an infant or child in need of first aid?
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training. However, having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff! Having a good understanding of emergency paediatric first aids incredibly important for the safety of children and it could mean the difference between life and death
Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF)
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework requires all early years providers in England to have at least one person who has a current and full paediatric first aid certificate on the premises and available at all times when children are present. Providers should also take into account the number of children, staff and layout of the premises and increase their paediatric first aid provision accordingly to ensure that a paediatric first aider is available to respond to emergencies quickly.
The more staff trained, the quicker an incident can be resolved. Even basic training can make a difference.
