Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid

This course is for those who might have to identify and manage emergency situations or manage minor everyday occurrences when looking after pre-puberty children. This qualification meets Ofsted requirements for those working in early years settings and is one of those linked to in the Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) document which comes into force on 01/09/14.

The statutory document requires at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate ‘to be on the premises and available at all times when children are present, and must accompany children on outings’.

It also represents the best practice first aid qualification to hold for staff who look after all ages of Primary School children.
