What to expect from this course
We believe that all children should leave school with basic first aid skills. Our Save a Mate courses are practical and interactive and aim to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to look after themselves and others as they become increasingly independent. Course content is tailored to the age of the pupils attending.
Subjects covered include:
- Recognising an emergency situation and reacting appropriately when someone falls ill or has an accident
- Maintaining the health and safety of yourself and the casualty whilst waiting for professional help to arrive
- Helping an unconscious casualty
- CPR and use of an AED (Defibrillator)
