  • Early years staff work closely with young children who may start at their provision when they are under the age of 1.  Children under the age of 5 are prone to accidents and injuries as they explore the world.  Some common risks are choking, head injuries and infections so it is vital that staff can recognise a sick child and feel confident to respond in the event of an emergency. Safety First provides first aid training for nurseries .

  • What our clients say

    • "***** was very particularly grateful for the excellent training as she was at her niece’s baby shower yesterday (who is 36 weeks pregnant) and she was opening her gifts when all of a sudden she started spasming and had an epileptic fit.

      She felt confident enough to assist the other ladies there, keeping her safe and protected and remembering to then lay her down in the recovery position on her left side and call the ambulance etc.

      She doesn’t have epilepsy but has been since told that it can happen in pregnancy (it lasted about 3 mins). Such vital things that you taught us, already been put into practice."

    What should be in a first aid kit?
    What should be in a first aid kit?

    First aid kits that are “HSE Approved” are green with a white cross.  These should be in an easily accessible place with the record book.  Staff should be made aware of their location.
    You can add things to your first aid kit that you consider relevant to your work place.

    For a list of the contents of a first aid kit follow this link

    Remember to check your first aid kits regularly as things do expire, and make sure you keep them stocked up when they have been used.

    Do you teach how to use the AED on your courses?
    Do you teach how to use the AED on your courses?

    An AED is used to restart the heart of a person who is in cardiac arrest.

    75% of adults who collapse and stop breathing will be in a shockable rhythm.  Prompt use of an AED will increase their chances of survival significantly.

    Use of the AED is covered and assessed on all courses.  Early use of an AED is key to the survival of adults in cardiac arrest.  The more people we can educate to use AEDs the better.

    Do I need to do a written test?
    Do I need to do a written test?

    Yes, most of our courses will require you to take a written test, this is usually multiple choice and the course should have covered all you need to know. If you are concerned or would like to discuss this further please do get in touch or enquire on booking.

    Are any of your first aid courses 100% online?
    Are any of your first aid courses 100% online?

    We offer a range of different courses online, many of which are great for your professional development as they are CPD accredited.  We also have a parent first aid course which is available online which is for information purposes to give parents some basic knowledge of how to cope in the event of an emergency.

    For a certified first aid course such as:

    • Paediatric first aid
    • Emergency First Aid at Work
    • First Aid at Work

    to be meet the requirements of the health and safety executive, Ofsted, the varying awarding bodies and any other relevant bodies there needs to be an assessment of the skills needed to be a first aider.  This includes things such as

    • such as CPR,
    • the recovery position,
    • how to manage choking,
    • wounds, bleeding and shock.

    This means that a proportion of the training will need be delivered and assessed face to face.

    We offer blended learning which is part online and part face to face.
