First Aid Awareness

First Aid Awareness Training

Empower your support staff with the essential skills to manage everyday accidents and emergencies. This condensed 2-hour course is designed to bridge the gap between an incident occurring and the arrival of a designated first-aider.

It is particularly suitable for staff working in early years settings and schools—such as playground and lunchtime supervisors—who need to act quickly and confidently when a child is injured.

Key Course Details

• Duration: 2 Hours

• Target Audience: School support staff, lunchtime supervisors, and early years practitioners.

• Certification: Each learner will receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion.

Who Is This Course For?

The objective of this training is to develop a sound awareness of child-specific first aid. It is designed to support the role of designated first-aiders by ensuring that the first person on the scene can provide immediate, effective care.

What Does the Training Cover?

This course focuses on the most common injuries and illnesses encountered in school and childcare environments:

• Administration: Understanding accident reporting and the essential contents of a first aid kit.

• Minor Injuries: Treatment for wounds, grazes, small cuts, and facial injuries.

• Head & Nose Injuries: Managing head injuries (from minor bumps to serious concerns) and nose bleeds.

• Illness & Environment: Identifying and treating vomiting, heat exhaustion, and hypothermia.

• Physical Activity Support: Helping children who have been "winded" during sports, as well as treating sprains and strains.

• Emergency Response: Treatment for an unconscious casualty, choking protocols, and managing insect stings or bites.

Why Choose This Awareness Training?

Not every incident requires a full 3-day qualification, but every incident does require a calm and knowledgeable response. By training your wider team in First Aid Awareness, you create a safer environment for children and ensure that minor injuries are handled correctly, reducing the pressure on your lead first-aiders.
