12 Hour / 2 Day Paediatric Emergency First Aid For Children And Babies
The 12 hour course in Emergency First Aid has been developed for professionals who are working with children and babies. This course meets Ofsted requirements and can also be used as evidence for those working towards an NVQ in Childcare and Education.
This will be of particular interest to Child Minders and Crèche Assistants, Playground personnel and anyone responsible for youth organisations.
The aim of this course is to provide these persons with a sound knowledge and understanding of First Aid procedures when working with children and babies.
Although the majority of First Aid procedures are similar to those used in adult first aid there are substantial differences in the protocols for resuscitation, choking, casualty handling and incident management.
Subject to ongoing assessment all delegates will receive a recognised certificate in Appointed Person Paediatric – Emergency First Aid in the Workplace, valid for a period of 3 years.
- Duration: 12 hours
- Eligibility: In order to receive the Appointed Person certificate students must be 16 years of age at the time they start the course. However, any student less than 16 years of age may receive an attendance certificate that is neither approved nor recognised by the HSE.
- Assessment: There is no formal examination or independent assessment as this takes place continually throughout the course by the tutor.
