Childcare First Aid

This one-day course is ideal for anyone who works with young children, for example in childcare or early education. It’s also popular with sporting groups, coaching staff and outdoor education team leaders, and is great for parents, carers, babysitters and other care staff who work outside school hours. It will teach you child-specific first aid including resuscitation, asthma and anaphylaxis, and how to recognise and treat common illnesses and injuries in children.
