First Aid for a broken arm

RQF Level 3 Award in

Paediatric First Aid

This Paediatric First Aid Training Course is a QA Level 3 Award and is recognised by Ofsted and includes the requirements of the appointed person in the workplace. Ideal for anyone who cares for children in a professional or non-professional capacity, you will gain the necessary skills to administer safe and effective treatment for a range of paediatric first aid situations.

 

With our new Blended Learning option, you can now complete our innovative e-Learning before completing one trainer-led day in the classroom focussing on the practical side of Paediatric First Aid. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework requires all early years providers in England to have at least one person with a valid paediatric first aid certificate on the premises and available at all times when children are present. If a child in your care needed first aid – would you know what to do?

It will be of particular interest to Child Minders, Teachers, Crèche Assistants and staff who have a responsibility for children whilst in their care.
