About the Course
-
This course is designed for those who work with infants and children and have been assigned paediatric first aid responsibilities. In the context of first aid, infants are newborn to 12 months, while children are aged 12 months to the onset of puberty.
Examples of those who may take this course include:
Teachers and classroom assistants
School administration and support staff
Nursery workers
Staff who run after-school clubs and activities
Sports coaches
Childminders, nannies and au-pairs
Parents, carers and foster carers.
This course is not a substitute for practical training, which is required to be considered a qualified first aider. However, it is suitable to take as a refresher course for those with existing first aid knowledge or for those who are already qualified first aiders, as well as for first time learners to give them a solid introduction to paediatric first aid.
