Aims of a Paediatric first aider
The aims of any first aider are known as the 3 Ps:
1. Preserve Life
2. Prevent the situation worsening
3. Promote Recovery
First aid and the law
First Aid is defined as ‘help given to a sick or injured person until full medical treatment is available’. Not all businesses will have a dedicated first aider. However, under the First Aid Regulations 1981, the legal minimum first-aid provisions in any workplace are:
- a suitably stocked first-aid kit
- an appointed person to take charge of first-aid arrangements
- information for employees about first-aid arrangements
The responsibilities of the person appointed to take charge of first-aid arrangements include paediatric first aid if the business involves children.
This online Paediatric First Aid course follows the recommended UK syllabus for those working with children and who may on occasion be required to administer first aid.

The responsibilities of the first aider include:
Assessing the situation
