THIS or THAT?

In the workplace, people process information in different ways.

🅰️ One-to-one conversations
🅱️ Group discussions

For some neurodivergent employees, one-to-one feels safer and clearer.
For others, group settings work best when expectations, structure, and choice are built in.

Inclusive workplaces don’t force one style — they offer options.

Neurodiversity-informed training helps teams:
• Understand different communication needs
• Reduce misunderstandings and overwhelm
• Create environments where everyone can contribute

If you’d like training that supports neurodivergent staff and managers, get in touch.

FIRST AID: FACT OR MYTH? 🧊🔥
Sprains – apply heat or ice?

❌ MYTH: Apply heat straight away
✅ FACT: Use ice, not heat

When a sprain happens, the body responds with inflammation and swelling.
Applying ice (or a cold compress) in the first 24–48 hours helps to:
• Reduce swelling
• Ease pain
• Limit further tissue damage

🔥 Heat increases blood flow, which can actually make swelling worse if used too soon.

Remember:
🧊 Ice first (acute injury)
🔥 Heat later (once swelling has gone and stiffness remains)

Saving this could help in an emergency

Our new Paediatric First Aid Packages.

If you know another nursery or school that would benefit, please tag or share this page with them.

How It Works:
Each Learner will receive a link to register at the time of booking the course. The online blended learning needs to be completed before the in person course commences. This covers all learning outcomes and ensures your team is well-prepared.

The training day will include practical elements and a short written assessment (FAIB standard).

Upon completion, you’ll receive your FAIB-accredited certificate, valid for 3 years.
Flexible Booking & Support

We’re building a local network of nurseries and schools for smaller bookings, so even if you only have one or two staff who need training, we can often match them onto another local course. Just get in touch!

Alternatively, we can hold the course at your venue, and we can fill the spaces by offering your venue to
other nurseries and schools.

❄️ Winter First Aid: Stay Safe at Work and at Home! ❄️

Icy paths, wet floors, and freezing temperatures mean slips, trips, and cold exposure are more common this time of year, whether you're heading into work or just popping outside at home.

👉 Key winter hazards to watch for:
• Ice on driveways, pavements, car parks and entrances
• Wet floors from snow and rain
• Prolonged exposure to cold, especially for outdoor workers

👉 If someone falls, here’s what to do:

Stay calm and assess the scene — make sure it’s safe for you to approach.

Check for responsiveness — are they awake and breathing?

Look for injuries — especially head, back, wrist, hip or ankle injuries.

Don’t move them if you suspect a serious injury (back, neck or hip).

Keep them warm; use coats or blankets.

Call 999 if they’re in pain, can’t get up, or you’re worried about a potential fracture or head injury.

If they can get up safely, help them do so slowly and monitor for dizziness or pain.

👉 Prevent slips and cold-related injuries:
• Grit icy areas early
• Use proper footwear
• Clear walkways
• Dress in layers and limit exposure to freezing temperatures

At HMB Training Services, I offer winter-focused first aid and safety training to help keep everyone safe, at home, in school, or in the workplace.
