Training Update

27 April 2023

Thank you to Karen, our Training and Volunteer Manager, for this update.

We highly recommend that all staff who work with young people participate in a selection of general courses to keep you and the young people safe.

11 May – Emergency First Aid at Work -the qualification is valid for three years – 9am – 5pm
This is an accredited first aid course for the workplace. It is the basic requirement for nominated first aiders: What is first aid, legislation, responsibilities, action in an emergency, primary survey, secondary assessment, the respiratory system, resuscitation and AED, disorders of respiration, disorders of circulation, wounds and bleeding, seizures, minor burns and scalds, foreign objects. Additional subjects can be added based on the needs of the group.

First aid is one of the most useful skills you can learn not only for your job but to help protect your loved ones. It is the one skill we all need but hope we never need to use.
