OFSTED Approved Paediatric First Aid

In addition to the one day course, many more of childhood illness and conditions are covered. Where an employer's assessment for First Aid needs identifies that a First Aider is not necessary, the minimum requirement for an employer is to appoint an individual to take charge of First Aid arrangements.

This includes looking after the equipment and facilities and calling the
Emergency Services when required. Arrangements should always be
made for this Appointed Person to undertake these duties at all times
when people are at work. In the absence of the First Aider,
employers must appoint a person for this purpose.
