First Aid at School

Teaching first aid to children provides them with an essential tools and skills that can be life saving. The interactive teaching methods that we use also promotes confidence, teamwork, communication skills and listening skills in each young person. The use of manikins in the classroom enables the children to get ‘hands on’ experience in life saving techniques and knowledge of the human body. The Young Lifesaver Award can be taught from Year 5 to Year 11 to children of all abilities allowing them to learn something new and exciting whilst learning to save lives.
