HSE First Aid for Schools 1 and 4 Day Courses
A First Aider must hold a valid certificate of competence, issued by an organisation whose training and qualifications are approved by the Health and Safety Executive.

First Aid for Children
Training courses cover a range of first aid competences. However, standard First Aid at Work training courses do not include resuscitation procedures for children.

The employer should arrange appropriate training for their first-aid personnel.

Training organisations will often tailor courses specifically to schools' needs. It is helpful to let the training organisation know in advance of any particular areas that should be covered.

Subject to your risk assessment, we can include Care for Children certification as an integrated part of either an Appointed Person or First Aid at Work course.
