Every supplementary school must have a trained first aider. It is also a requirement of the Quality Framework Award. Many of you have a staff member (paid or volunteer) who has trained as part of their main job and that is fine. For others you have have been able to access training through your local authority, excellent.

For those supplementary schools that don’t have a trained first aider regularly on site we have arranged this one-day training on Emergency First Aid. The course is aimed at emergencies concerning adults and children above the age of 8-10 years old (depends on hight/weight). If you have classes with 0-8 year olds you should have at least one staff member trained in paediatric first aid.

The course will cover the following responsiblities:

• ensuring first-aid equipment is fit for purpose
• arriving at the scene
• ensuring the scene is safe
• contacting the emergency services
• prioritising the treatment of casualties
• clearing up after an incident
• incident reporting and recording

There are 12 places only on this course to ensure that you all get to practice CPR techniques, etc. It is also an expensive course to buy in so the discounted cost for NRCSE members is £75 pp. Please go to the online shop to book as soon as you know you want a place.
