Paediatric First Aid

Paediatric First Aid

Event Details

Legislation from the Department of Education requires all newly qualified level two and three child carers to have either an emergency paediatric first aid or full paediatric first aid certificate.

It remains a legal requirement for at least one person with a valid full 12-hour paediatric first aid certificate to be available at all times within a professional child care establishment. This includes cover for sickness and annual leave and to accompany children on trips or excursions.

First Aid for Life offer the 12-hour Full Paediatric First Aid course as convenient blended learning, with 6 hours online interactive pre-learning, followed by a 6 hour practical course. We also offer an option of 2-day practical courses for groups.

The one day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course is an option if you are a nanny or child carer registering on the voluntary childcare register or if you are a newly qualified child carer complying with the latest legislation.

Our paediatric courses are recognised by Ofsted for the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and fulfil Childcare Registration requirements and the DfES Approved Carers Scheme. This course can be used as evidence for employees working towards the NVQ in Childcare and Education.
