Not everyone who gets meningitis develops a rash, and sometimes this can be one of the last symptoms to appear so please don’t wait for a rash before seeking help if you are worried about your child.

Meningitis can kill in hours so it’s critical to know the symptoms so you can act fast.

If your child is unwell with ANY of these symptoms, go to a hospital or call for an ambulance immediately:

❗️Over 38°C in babies under three months

❗️Has a temperature and feels abnormally cold to touch/very cold hands and feet

❗️Very fast breathing, finding it much harder to breathe than normal, or noticeable pauses in breathing

❗️Grunting and/or noises with every breath

❗️Very lethargic / difficult to wake / not responding
Fitting / convulsion / seizures

❗️Weak, high pitched or continuous crying in a younger child
❗️Confusion or unusually irritable

❗️Soft spot on a baby’s head is bulging

❗️Stiff neck, especially when trying to look up and down

❗️Unusually sleepy, stiff or floppy baby

❗️Pale, blotchy or mottled skin - this may be harder to see on brown or black skin

❗️A rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass - the rash can be harder to see on brown or black skin. Check paler areas, such as the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, roof of the mouth, tummy, whites of the eyes or the inside of the eyelids.

❗️Not had a wee or wet nappy for 12 hours or more

❗️Very thirsty and not able to keep fluids down

❗️Bloody or black ‘coffee ground’ sick

Some of these high-risk symptoms are not typical signs of meningitis but are still signs of severe illness, so, if your child is unwell and has these symptoms, get urgent medical help.

It can be harder to see a meningitis rash in black or brown skin, so check lighter areas such as the palms of hands, soles of feet or inside eyelids or the mouth.

Remember not to wait for a rash if your little one has many of the other symptoms of meningitis, seek medical attention as quickly as possible.

💚✨This weekend I will be away on our annual conference weekend! It’s huge and held ‘up north’.

🥾Huge trek for me but I always come back absolutely full of ideas, ready to go and refreshed! We have amazing charities who update our training from Children's Burns Trust, Meningitis Research Foundation, Cheeky Rascals and more. Watch this space 👀

💃🏼👠Our awards ceremony on Saturday night is a bit like the Oscars (well, a bit smaller) and I am up for these 2 awards again this year! Wish me luck 🍀

📣I will be adding workplace courses later this year, I’ve been asked about this so much over the last couple of years. I’m now ready to take that step!

⛑️Please do get in touch if you need a workplace qualification and I’ll see you soon!

There are over 1,000 franchise brands in the UK, so it is a huge honour to make the Elite Franchise Top 100 franchises, for which our founder, Kate, and husband Matt, were presented with our certificate last night.

The HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 Awards is the UK’s definitive official list celebrating excellence in the franchise community. To make that list, along with some of the biggest names in UK business, such as McDonald's, Molly Maid, WaterBabies and Stagecoach, is huge for our small business that started at Kate's kitchen table.

At last night's award ceremony, we were also nominated for an award recognising diversity and inclusion in our training - something we are incredibly proud to be leading in the first aid industry in the UK. Sadly, we didn't win that award on the night, but getting our Top 100 certificate was a proud moment! 💚

What if we told you that a high temperature could cause your child to have a seizure, and many parents have never even heard of it?

It’s called a febrile seizure, and more often than not, when parents come to our baby & child first aid classes, it’s the first time they learn that this can happen.

We never share information to frighten you. We share it because knowledge replaces panic with composure 💚

If your child ever experiences a febrile seizure and you’ve never heard of one before, it can be incredibly distressing. But when you understand what’s happening and what to do, you feel calmer, more confident and in control.

Forewarned really is forearmed when it comes to our little ones.
