PAEDIATRIC FIRST AID

There are statutory guidelines with regard to who must hold a paediatric first aid qualification. There are two courses to choose from, the right course for you will depend on your situation.

Both courses have been designed in-line with the current Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) & are regulated qualifications, so you can book with us knowing the course will meet your legal requirements.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

You will receive a First Aid Manual & on successful completion of the course, you will receive an E-certificate which lasts for 3 years.

EMERGENCY PAEDIATRIC FIRST AID

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 & full paediatric first aid certificate on the premises & available at all times. It is the responsibility of the provider to risk assess their ratios of children & staff, as well as considering the layout of their premises & increasing their paediatric first aid provision accordingly to ensure there is a paediatric first aider available to respond promptly to any first aid emergencies. Full details about what is included in this new combined course are shown below.
