Mini Life-Savers
First aid for primary school children

Mini Life-Savers

We firmly believe that all children should learn First Aid as a skill for life, starting as soon as they can recognise the number 999.  They are often the first person to react when their friend falls off a bike or chokes on a sweet, so knowing basic First Aid is invaluable.

These courses are bespoke depending on the age of the children and the length of time that is available, ranging from 4-year olds spending 1 hour learning how to call 999, through to primary school leavers completing a full certified course.

They are engaging and fun due to the emphasis on practical learning and can be run for schools, clubs, private groups or families.

Topics can include:

  • Incident management and calling for help
  • Unconscious casualties and the safe airway position
  • Choking
  • CPR
  • Serious bleeding
  • Asthma and anaphylaxis
  • Bone, muscle and joint injuries
  • Burns and poisoning
  • Seizures
  • Head and spinal injuries

Length:

Depending on the chosen topics, between 1 and 5 hours plus breaks. Approximate times vary with group size and level of maturity of the children participating.

Trainer:

Louise is a qualified, enthusiastic trainer who is an ex-secondary school teacher, a primary school mum and DBS checked (on the annual update service). An extra adult who knows the children must always be on hand for pastoral care.   

 

Cost:

Ranges from £100 for 1 hour, £300 for 4 hours to £425 for 7 hours. Please enquire for other time frames.

For more than 20 children in a group an assistant trainer is required, charged at £60 for the first hour then £35 per subsequent hour.

Optional extras – manuals, mini first aid kits, regulated certificates.

Location:

Can be held at any venue large enough not only to seat everyone but which also has enough floor space for the practicals, or we can source a venue for you at your cost, if required.
