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.
