The one day Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course will give you the knowledge and confidence to deal with paediatric first aid emergencies.  This course is vitally important if you work with infants and children on a daily basis as a teacher, nanny or other child care professional and above all is a requirement.

The EYFS statutory framework states that at least one person who has a current 2 day paediatric first aid (PFA) certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present. They must also accompany children on outings. In addition, all newly qualified entrants to the early years workforce, on or after 30th June 2016, must also have either the full PFA or the Emergency Paediatric first aid (EPFA) certificate within three months of starting work in an early years setting.

This course have been developed in accordance with Skills for Care and Development (SfC&D) – the UK Sector Skills Council (SSC) for social care, early years and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) First Aid regulations.

This is a CPD course  adds credits to your Continuing Professional Development.
