From £120 + VAT per delegate
Paediatric First Aid courses are for those who might have to identify and manage emergency situations or manage minor everyday occurrences when looking after young children. This Highfields qualification meets Ofsted requirements for those working in early years settings and uses the criteria for effective paediatric first aid training found in Appendix 1 of The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Practice Guidance document.
The current EYFS statutory framework requires at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate to be on the premises or outings at all times when children are present.
