If you have black or brown skin and take a first aid class where they tell you to look out for blue lips and red skin marks, how do you know what that looks like for your child?
Medical and first aid literature, imagery and teaching has always traditionally been taught with an assumption that you or your child has white skin. But if your child is black or brown, their lips won’t go blue and rashes and burns will look different. And you need to know this information.
All of our trainers undertake diversity training and in our classes, we teach first aid for all skin colours as standard.
No more guesswork. We will talk you through exactly what to look out for no matter what skin tone your child has.
This brilliant review is for our trainer Lell - you’ll get this same teaching wherever you are in the UK.
