This course provides a clear and practical introduction to paediatric first aid, supporting professionals to recognise and respond to a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and emergency situations involving children and young people. It focuses on building confidence through simple, step-by-step guidance, while also promoting a calm, trauma-informed approach that prioritises both physical safety and emotional reassurance.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the principles of paediatric first aid and how to apply them safely in real-life situations
  • Recognise the signs and symptoms of common illnesses, injuries, and medical emergencies in children
  • Apply appropriate first aid responses, including resuscitation, managing choking, and treating injuries
  • Identify when a situation requires further medical assistance and how to seek help effectively
  • Respond to accidents and incidents confidently, including recording and reporting information accurately

This course is CPD accredited and adheres to the training, support and development standards outlined in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011. 
It is also tailored to where you live in the UK, adhering to each country’s own individual regulators – namely: Ofsted, The Care Inspectorate (Wales), The Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).
If you work within the foster care sector, this course will give you the required learning outcomes to be competent in your chosen subject area. 
Because each of our courses is created by a specialist within this sector, we have the expertise to tailor any course to your specific needs. You can even arrange for your own documentation policies or procedures to be included in your Learning Management System.
