First Aid for Children

The charity St John Ambulance have launched a major national campaign to help raise awareness about the importance of individuals having a wider knowledge of first aid to help save lives. It was found a significant amount of lives are lost through either people's lack of understanding or confidence in their own knowledge of first aid.

With the right knowledge and preparation these incidents can be avoided. Accidents are a part of everyday life yet we all worry about situations where our children might need first aid. Why not download and print off these First Aid for Children Fact Sheets to help you prepare should an accident strike. We suggest you keep the Fact Sheets with your first aid kit and perhaps another set in the car so they are to hand when you need them.

Remember that most children feel a little frightened when they have an injury. The good news is they have an inbuilt ability to bounce back quickly. Nobody knows your child better than you do, but a few handy comforting tips never go amiss.

Serious accidents are rare but these downloadable fact sheets will help you be prepared, stay calm and help your child to the best of your ability, whatever the situation.
