  • Childminders
  • School staff on school trips 
  • Nurseries

The qualification is open to those over 16   years of age.

Pre-Requisites:

This Paediatric First aid is aimed at those over 16 who are able to undertake the responsibilities associated with being an emergency first aider. Those under 16 may undertake the qualification, however they should not be relied upon by employers to be a responsible first aider.
