PAEDIATRIC FIRST AID - 1 DAY BLENDED
Sarah Walker
A summary
This First Aid Course prepares you to look after young people from 0 to 18 years old.
The 12-hour course - up to 6 hours independent study, followed by a one-day, face-to-face practical training day is a Level 3 (RQF) course meeting all your OFSTED and EYFS requirements and is up to date with the latest UK Resuscitation Council's guidelines.
No written tests, no Powerpoint lectures ... participants are assessed continuously by peer and tutor observation of ‘real-life’ skills in a friendly and supportive way, interactive tasks and challenges, group discussions and a scenario-based approach throughout the day. Certificates, valid for three years, are awarded by ITC through ActFast First Aid.
This course can also cover the one-day First Aid at Work (EFAW) requirement, to cover all your workplace requirements - an additional certificate may be purchased by selecting "Additional Qualification" at the checkout stage.
As an experienced adult trainer, Forest School Leader, FSA Endorsed Trainer and Scout Leader, I have extensive experience of working with client groups of all ages indoors and out.

Sarah Walker
If I'm not supporting others to become Forest School Leaders - I'm running First Aid Training or leading my own Forest School programmes across all key stages in mainstream and alternative provision. As an experienced adult trainer with a background in international teacher training, an FSA Endorsed Trainer, First Aid Instructor and Scout Leader I have extensive experience of working with client groups of all ages in woodlands and schools. A childhood on Dartmoor and a lifetime of adventurous living have given me an understanding of the challenges and risks of taking groups to inaccessible places. I am bilingual in Spanish and my fascination with languages continues through my work, training and mentoring international colleagues. I am a member of the Forest School Association's Recognised Provider Working Group and currently treasurer of the Ox-Bucks-Berks local Forest School Association Branch, supporting local colleagues and organising skills shares.
