In addition to the 1 day course, this course deals with many more potential injuries and illnesses our children sustain.

This course meets the required standards set by OFSTED. The instructor will assess throughout the course and award a 3 year certificate on successful completion. The minimum age for this course is 16.

Description
This course has been developed for those who are working with children and babies.
It will be of particular interest to Teachers, Child Minders, Crèche Assistants, Playgroup
personnel and anyone responsible for youth organisations.

It is ideal for individuals who are responsible for children and/or babies, who wish to gain
knowledge of emergency procedures and attain a recognised qualification in First Aid.
In addition to that of the one-day course, many other childhood conditions and illnesses are
included.

Where an employer’s assessment for First Aid needs identifies that a First Aider is not
necessary, the minimum requirement for an employer is to appoint a person to take charge of
the First Aid arrangements. This includes looking after the equipment and facilities and calling
the Emergency Services when required. Arrangements should be made for an Appointed
Person to be available to undertake these duties at all times when people are at work.
In the absence of the First Aider, employers must appoint a person for this purpose.
It should be remembered that Appointed Persons are not First Aiders and should not attempt to
give First Aid for which they have not been trained.
