Emergencies involving babies and young children can be particularly distressing, and knowing how to respond appropriately can make a critical difference in both the short- and long-term outcomes for the child. This Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been specifically designed to equip learners with the practical skills, awareness, and confidence needed to respond to the most common paediatric emergencies.
Delivered over one day, the course is both hands-on and accessible, combining trainer-led instruction with practical demonstrations and interactive exercises. Participants will learn how to assess emergency situations, perform CPR on infants and young children, manage choking incidents, treat bleeding and shock, and respond to conditions such as asthma, allergies, and fainting.
This course is suitable for anyone who works with or cares for children, whether in a professional capacity or as part of a family. It is ideal for nursery workers, school staff, childminders, volunteers, and those working in youth settings such as holiday clubs, after-school provisions, or community projects. It’s also a valuable course for parents, guardians, or grandparents who want peace of mind and the skills to step in if a child in their care needs urgent help.
The course aligns with the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework and supports those working within early years and childcare settings. Alongside meeting professional requirements, the training helps build confidence and preparedness when responding to emergencies involving babies and young children.

Learners leave with greater confidence in responding to incidents involving babies and children and helping to create safer environments wherever they are cared for.
