First aid for young people
Here at St John Ambulance we are
committed to training young people in first aid.
We work with teachers, youth leaders, schools, Pupil Referral Units
and Local Education Authorities.
We can provide training for all young people
from seven to 18 years old which can be delivered by a St John
Ambulance trainer, a teacher, higher level teaching assistant or
youth leader within a recognised youth organisation, all with
relevant first aid knowledge. Our Young
first aider pack is an interactive, pupil-centred
resource to support this.
The government’s agenda is now placing
children’s wellbeing at the heart of their education campaign.
Training pupils in first aid isn’t just about learning a life
saving skill it can also boost self-esteem,
encourage teamwork and communication and provide an opportunity for
children to engage with voluntary work in their local
community.
First aid can be incorporated into many areas
of the key stage 2, 3 and 4 curriculum, including:
- PE
- Science
- PSHE
- Citizenship
