Why Paediatric First Aid Matters
Paediatric first aid is not just about compliance with regulations—it's about ensuring that you have the skills necessary to act in an emergency. Children are often vulnerable and can suffer from injuries or illnesses that require immediate attention. Knowing how to respond quickly can prevent serious harm or even save a life.
For those working in regulated environments such as nurseries, schools, or childminding services, it is a legal requirement to have adequate first aid provision in place. Aim2Aid’s Paediatric First Aid courses meet the requirements set by Ofsted, ensuring that your setting remains compliant with the latest health and safety standards.
