First Aid for Parents

Description

• Teaching you how to treat your child should the worst occur
• Children can be present, though parents will remain responsible for them throughout
• 2.5 - 3 hr sessions

Course Contents:

• What to do if your child goes unconscious
• How to check if they are breathing normally or not
• If they are, how to put them in the recovery position
• If they are not, how to start CPR and use an AED (defibrillator)
• What to do if your child were to choke
• What to do if they were to get burnt
• How to treat minor injuries (dependent on available time)

Past Sessions:

• Sessions in the past have been paid for by a local charity, enabling parents to access the training for free
• We're happy to put on sessions for your group, playgroup, charity, or simply for you and your children
• We're always happy to have little ones come along
• They can either play around, or join us - they usually prefer to join us and play with the manikins, even trying out CPR!
• You will, of course, remain fully responsible for them while they are there

Accreditation:

These sessions are tailored to the needs of parents and are therefore not accredited. We can, however, give a CPD Certificate if that is helpful to you.

If you'd like an Ofqual regulated course, why not do our Basic Life Support for Adults and Children course, Emergency Paediatric First Aid or Paediatric First Aid?
