This is a very basic introduction to First Aid and Defibrillation for children and aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 11, but it can suit children of any age.

 

 

The course is kept at a basic level with no use of confusing terminologies.

 

The course will show complete respect for the child’s ability, make it educational and practical, and instil the importance of helping someone who is poorly or injured.

 

 

This flexible course is aimed at:

• Primary schools

• Sports clubs

• Organisations such as cubs and brownies
