โ๏ธ Today we have been teaching children โ๏ธ in โฆ..
Teaching First Aid Isnโt Just for Adults โ It Starts with Children Too! ๐
Did you know that children as young as 6 years old can learn the basics of first aid?
The Mini Medics course is specifically designed for children aged 6โ11, giving them the knowledge and confidence to help in an emergency.
๐ฆ๐ง What they will learn:
โ
Calling 999 and what to say
โ
How to check for dangers before helping
โ
Basic CPR & recovery position (child-friendly)
โ
Using a defibrillator (AED)
โ
Bandaging and treating shock
โ
Dealing with bumps, cuts, and minor injuries
โ
Understanding common illnesses (seizures, asthma, etc.)
โ
Whatโs inside a first aid kit and how to use it
๐ Each child also gets their own activity book to take away โ a fun, practical reference they can look back on anytime.
Why it matters:
๐ Children are often the first on the scene when a parent, sibling, or friend needs help.
๐ Early training builds confidence, responsibility, and life-saving skills.
๐ It creates safer schools, communities, and families.
At LA First aid, (Andy Sheldon) We believe First aid should be a life skill for everyone โ no matter their age. โ๏ธ
Thatโs why weโre delivering Mini Medics workshops in schools, youth groups, and community settings.
๐ฉ If youโre a school, club, or parent whoโd like to give children the confidence to save a life, get in touch with us today to find out more.
