This course can also be combined with the HSE Emergency First Aid at Work course to ensure you are compliant with HSE regulations in the workplace as well as OFSTED regulations, in paediatric environments.
Our Paediatric first aid course over 2 days can be carried out in house at your care home for 3 or more candidates. These first aid training courses are in line with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and meet the needs of Ofsted. Suitable for Child-minders, Nursery and School staff and anybody who deals with children and wants a more in-depth course.
This course is also available as a blended course, which is an excellent approved alternative for those who are simply unable to spare the time to spend two days in a classroom only course. This is done with our online course that is completed before attending a full day in the classroom with an instructor to complete the practical part of the course.
