Schools First Aid+

Schools First Aid +
12 Hours
Schools First Aid+ is our integrated first aid course combining Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work training to support those working in school and educational environments.
Designed with teachers, teaching assistants, support staff, clubs and wider school teams in mind, the course covers both child and adult emergency first aid situations commonly encountered in schools
Alongside core first aid skills, the training also explores current themes around safer eating, choking response, allergies and anaphylaxis awareness, helping settings feel more confident in supporting children with health needs and preparing for evolving allergy guidance and legislation.
Combining practical hands-on learning with essential theory, learners build the confidence and skills needed to respond calmly and effectively in real-life emergencies. Delivered in a supportive and engaging way, this course helps schools create safer environments for pupils, staff and visitors alike
