This Page covers the 12 - Hour Paediatric First Aid Course meeting the requirements of Ofsted & CSSIW, as well as a 4 - Hour Emergency Paediatric Course for those assisting in child care settings.

 

 The Department for Education and Employment publication goes on to identify:

 

"Who is responsible for First Aid in Schools?

 

 

The Employer 

Health and safety legislation places duties on employers for the health and safety of their employees and anyone else on the premises. In schools this includes responsibility for the head teacher and teachers, non-teaching staff, pupils and visitors (including contractors). Who the employer is depends on the type of school. For

example:EA i

mployer in county, controlled and special agreement schools, and in pupil referral units;

              schools;

• The owner or the trustees are the employers in some independent schools.

The employer is responsible, under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA), for making sure that a school has a health and safety policy. This should include arrangements for first aid, based on a risk assessment of the school, and should cover:

 

1.       Numbers of first aiders/appointed persons;

2.       Numbers and locations of first-aid containers:

3.       Arrangements for off-site activities/trips;

 

4.     Out of school hours arrangements e.g. lettings, parents evenings.

Guidance on First Aid in Schools, D.E.E. (1998). 

It is the employer's responsibility to make sure that the statutory requirements for provision of first aiders are met, that appropriate training is provided and that correct procedures are followed. The employer should be satisfied that any training has given staff sufficient understanding, confidence and expertise
