PAEDIATRIC FIRST AID Are you aware that from September 2014 Local Authorities will no longer have the responsibility to approve Paediatric First Aid providers? The revised EYFS Statutory Guidance effective from 1st September 2014 now states: At least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present and must accompany children on outings. Childminders and any assistant who might be in sole charge of the children for any period of time must hold a current paediatric first aid certificate. Paediatric first aid training must be relevant for workers caring for young children and where relevant babies. Providers should take into account the number of children, staff and layout of premises to ensure that a paediatric first aider is able to respond to emergencies quickly. Providers can choose which organisation they wish to provide the training (preferably one with a nationally approved and accredited first aid qualification or one that is a member of a trade body with an approval and monitoring scheme) and must be renewed every three years. Registered childcare providers are now responsible for ensuring the Paediatric First Aid training they choose meets the standards outlined in the EYFS. At Lazarus Training we have vast experience at providing paediatric first aid training and paediatric first aid, with many of our trainers being from the Emergency Services. Our prices are very competitive starting from just £65 per person, compared with St Johns Ambulance (approx £125) and British Red Cross (approx. £100).
