Paediatric First Aid (2Day)

Would you know what to do if a child in your
care needed first aid?
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory
Framework requires all early years providers in England
to have at least one person who has a current and full
paediatric first aid certificate on the premises and
available at all times when children are present.
Providers should also take into account the number of
children, staff and layout of the premises and increase
their paediatric first aid provision accordingly.
The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid
(RQF) has been specifically designed to meet the
criteria set by the Department for Education’s EYFS
Framework and is ideal for:
• Those who have gained a level 2 and/or level 3
childcare qualification and have entered into an early
years setting and wish to be included in the staff to
child ratios to comply with EYFS requirements.
• Registered childminders and assistants who are
required to hold a current and full paediatric first aid
certificate in order to comply with the EYFS
requirements.
Successful candidates will learn the roles and
responsibilities of the paediatric first aider, and will be
equipped with the necessary skills to administer safe
and effective treatment when dealing with a range of
paediatric first aid situations.
