Change for schools and those working with under 8's from September 2008.

From September 2008, all settings working with children under the age of 8 years old require a member of staff on site with a Paediatric First Aid qualification. This was set out in the EYFS Statutory Framework early this year. Therefore schools not only require a member of staff with a First Aid at Work qualification but additionally one on duty with a Paediatric qualification.

The course is run over 12 hours and is also required by OFSTED for all primary schools, nurseries and early years providers. The course focuses heavily on dealing with child and infant first aid.
