Get first aid, CPR and AED training for every adult and teen
Skills save more lives than kit. A recognised hands-on course teaches you to check a scene, help someone who has collapsed, and use the kit you will buy.
How
- Book a recognised adult and paediatric first aid, CPR and AED course (for example American Red Cross in the US, or your national Red Cross or Red Crescent society, St John or a similar body elsewhere).
- Aim for at least two trained adults on the estate at all times, so one can help while the other gets kit or calls for help.
- Red Cross certificates for this course are valid for two years: put renewal dates in the maintenance calendar.
- Older children can learn basic skills such as calling for help, recovery position and pressing on a bleeding wound, adapted to their age.
