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.
In their introduction in
their publication 'Guidance on First Aid for Schools, the
Department of Education and Employment state:
"First-aid provision must be available at all times while
people are on school premises, and also off the premises whilst on
school visits".
|
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
