Frequently asked questions

It is vital that anyone who works in education has basic knowledge of first aid. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions that are put to our specialists.

What is basic first aid and why is it important in schools?

Basic first aid is the steps taken to help an injured or sick person directly after an illness or injury occurs. This could include checking if someone is breathing, trying to stop someone from bleeding, applying CPR and even applying a plaster.

First Aid is important in an education setting as school-aged children are more likely to be involved in accidents and experience injuries. Although many of these injuries are likely to be minor, a child or young person may suffer a serious or life-threatening injury while on school grounds in some situations.

Although schools will have designated first aiders, it’s beneficial for teachers to have first aid basics and our First Aid Essentials training course for teachers is perfect for teaching them this knowledge.

What first aid training do teachers need? In order for schools to know what first aid training teachers require, they must undertake an assessment of their first aid needs. This will help them know what first aid training they need.

What are the legal requirements for first aid in schools? The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires all employers, including schools or any company in an education setting, to provide adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities and people to give immediate help if someone is injured or taken ill at work.
