Paediatric First Aid training across Newcastle and the North East

The Paediatric courses that we offer are for those who may have to identify and manage emergency situations or manage minor everyday occurrences when looking after young children. When you choose Inspirational Training for paediatric first aid, you can trust that you’re in the best hands as our qualifications meet Ofsted requirements for those working in early year settings. This also complies with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Practice Guidance document. This framework requires at least one person who has a current Paediatric First Aid certificate to be on the premises or on outings at all times when children or infants are present.

These courses are bespoke and incorporate first aid for adults and children,  including CPR and use of a defibrillator, choking and common illnesses including asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and anaphylaxis.

This course covers all the same content as the Level 3 award in Paediatric First Aid, and covers additional content, including adult CPR, in an outdoor context. This course is suitable for anybody who takes children out of the classroom, satisfies Ofsted and validates Forest School and other outdoor qualifications. Three certificates are awarded for this course including:

• • Outdoor and Paediatric First Aid (16 hours)

  • ITC Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid – 12+ hours (QCF)

  • Emergency First Aid at Work - 6 hours

It will help staff to recognise and manage a few common injuries and illnesses until more qualified staff arrive on scene. This course is suitable for support staff working in the nursery, primary school or play environment, including lunch-time supervisors, parent-helpers, teaching assistants and caretakers.
