First Aid for Children

Children First Aid Courses

First Aid for Children; HMB Training is dedicated to teaching children life-saving skills for first-aid emergencies.  Accidents can happen anywhere and on occasions without an adult present or available.  Completing a first aid course will help bring confidence to any child in knowing what to do in an emergency.

 

 

We share the importance of dangers, and how to keep safe within the home and outside.  What to do when an emergency arises and how to call for an ambulance. Understanding why someone may stop breathing, performing CPR, and using a Defibrillator.  Understanding why someone may go unconscious and learning how to put someone in the recovery position. How to treat a bleed and bandage a wound, and knowing how to treat minor injuries.

 

 

Not only does first aid for children benefit others, but a British Red Cross survey found that 97 percent of young people believed first aid training would boost their confidence, skills, and willingness to act in a emergency.

While we fully support the government’s plans to incorporate CPR, defibrillator awareness, and other lifesaving first aid skills into the national curriculum in secondary schools in England, we believe that a child is never too young to begin learning how to save a life and would like to see first aid taught in schools across the country.
