Emergency First Aid at Work + Paediatric Element - Course Overview
This course enables participants to act as a workplace first aider in low-risk environments, where a needs assessment has identified Emergency First Aid at Work provision as suitable. It complies with the Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 (Appendix 6) and provides essential emergency first aid training for adult casualties.
In addition to the standard Emergency First Aid at Work content, the course also includes paediatric-focused training relevant to school and childcare settings, supporting learners who may be required to respond to incidents involving children.
The Emergency First Aid at Work element forms Unit 1 and Day 1 of the full three-day First Aid at Work qualification, offering a good foundation for those who may wish to progress further.

It is particularly suited to school staff, teaching assistants, nursery teams, and support workers who require both workplace first aid certification and basic paediatric emergency awareness.
