This 12 hour Paediatric First Aid course will enable you to meet the requirements of Ofsted for Early Years Settings. The EYFS statutory document requires at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate 'to be on the premises and available at all times when children are present, and must accompany children on outings'.

This course represents the best practice first aid qualification to hold for staff who look after all ages of Primary School children. In addition parents might find this course gives more confidence to know what to do should an emergency arise with their own children.

The 12 hour course consists of 2 units:

• Unit 1 Emergency Paediatric First Aid - Day 1

• Unit 2 Managing Paediatric Illness, Injuries and Emergencies - Day 2.

• Candidates can also attend for just day 1 and complete the Emergency Paediatric First Aid 6 hour course.
