Course Introduction

Course Overview

This course is designed for anyone working with children under the age of 12.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework requires all early years providers in England to ensure that staff hold a full paediatric first aid certificate on the premises that make up the child-to-adult ratio. Providers should also take into account the number of children, staff and layout of the premises and increase their paediatric first aid provision accordingly to ensure that a paediatric first aider is available to respond to emergencies quickly.
