Paediatric First Aid
We specialise in paediatric first aid. Our courses are delivered by an instructor that has over 20 years of childcare and managemnt experience and that has supported the industry need for 100% first aid qualified staff. This course is aimed at those who wish to or already work in childcare or a school.
From September 2016 all newly qualified Level 2 and Level 3 staff must have a full Level 3 Paediatric First Aid certificate or Emergency Paediatric First Aid certificate.
Its topics are regarded by the Early Years Foundation Stage as being important to maintaining good practice in the safe, prompt and effective treatment of injuries and ill health of infants and children who are under the care of trained personnel.
All childcare facilities can voluntarily apply for a quality mark known as ‘Millie’s Mark’, for more info on the award please follow the link. http://bit.ly/29zoc9C
