What is Paediatric First Aid?

The term ‘Paediatric First aid’ refers to the skill and knowledge required to provide effective first aid to children. If your business involves children, the responsibilities of the person appointed to take charge of first-aid arrangements must include arrangements for effective paediatric first aid.

Delivered in a classroom setting, this course offers a practical, hands-on approach that delivers the skills and confidence to use first aid skills in a real-life situation. For added reassurance, each learner is assessed throughout the course using a range of practical demonstrations, question and answer sessions, quizzes, and engaging activities designed to coach and support them.

To ensure you get the most effective learning experience, learners must be physically able to participate and we limit group size to 12 people.

The course also includes basic adult first aid skills, details on accident reporting and administering medication for those working in a childcare setting.

On successful completion of this course, you will receive a paediatric first aid certificate which is valid for three years, issued by Highfields College. This course meets the requirements specified by OFSTED and also includes the requirements of the appointed person in the workplace.

In line with the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, this course can be used as evidence for an NVQ in Childcare and Education.
