Emergency First Aid at Work for the Appointed Person in School: (4- 6 hour course)
What is the First aid requirement for schools?
Health and safety legislation places duties on employers for the health and safety of their employers 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 will depend upon the school. First-aid provision must be available at all times while people are on the premises and also off the premises whilst on school trips.
What do schools need to do?
In light of their legal responsibilities for those in their care, schools should consider carefully the likely risks to pupils and visitors, and make allowance for them when drawing up policies and deciding on the number of first-aid personnel.
How are we able to help you?
Risk Assessment is an ongoing process which involves constant monitoring. Here at Surrey First Aid Training we understand how busy head teachers and staff are and that school budgets are restrictive. We are able to offer free advice on how best to manage risk in your school. In addition to this we offer First Aid, Health & Safety and Manual Handling courses within your school which are specifically aimed at meeting your particular needs. Please do not hesitate to call us and we will be delighted to assist you.
What is the first aid requirement for schools with a Pre-School, or After School provision?
Surrey County Council require your staff to have attended a 12 hour Paediatric First Aid training course.
