Why do you need to have Physical First Aid Training?

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employers receive immediate attention should they become injured or taken ill at work.

The number of first aiders in your place of work depends on how many people there are as well as the risk level of the primary activities. We host open courses covering the adult and paediatric sectors across the UK and can travel to your place of work to deliver courses to your workforce.

Why should you think about commissioning Mental Health First Aid Training?

Thriving at work, The Stevenson/Farmer review was an independent document outlining how employers can better support the mental health of all people currently in employment. This was commissioned by the government and undertaken in 2017, the result of which can be found here:

Our purpose is to empower people to save lives. First Aid, physical and Mental Health should be a skill that is accessible to everybody regardless of financial or social limitations.

We live and work within our purpose by engaging with socially conscious organisations who believe that community engagement is the way to access members of society who wouldn’t normally access this service. We do this by working alongside these organisations who are already engaged with our target beneficiary demographic.

Who are Homestart UK and what do they do? – CHARITY

Homestart UK was founded by Margaret Harrison in 1973 and is now one of the leading charities in the UK working with families in need.  The charity offers a range of support to families who are struggling with the demands and challenges of being a parent.

They recruit family support volunteers, all of whom have experience of parenting and want to get involved in charity work. They undertake a thorough training and assessment programme and continue to have ongoing training and supervision throughout their time with Home-Start.

The service we provide

We have a long history of providing free and subsidised paediatric first aid training to the volunteers for this organisation which in turn allows them to have confidence in the homes of the families they support whilst looking after the children and babies.

Our work with Home-Start Herts began in 2012 and have been delivering impactful first aid training for them ever since. We have since expanded our work into Cambridgeshire.
