Why choose this course?
This First aid for baby and child course is for anyone over 16 who wants to learn baby and child first aid for their everyday life, rather than as a requirement of their job (in which case a workplace course could be more suitable).
It is ideal for parents, expectant parents, grandparents and other family members, and anyone who is often around babies and children.
Nobody likes to think of their child being in an emergency situation, but learning first aid will give you the confidence to be able to help should you need to.
This one day course has been designed with parents in mind, to guide you through exactly what you need to know.
It covers a range of childhood emergency situations; from choking and unresponsiveness to fever and meningitis.
It's perfect for:
- parents of children of all ages (from birth to puberty)
- expectant parents, as part of preparing for parenthood
- grandparents
- family members
- babysitters.
If you care for a child professionally, our Paediatric first aid course meets workplace and Ofsted requirements.
