Teaching lifesaving skills

Please note, we are currently taking bookings from December 2024 onwards.

Since 2020, all state-funded schools in England are required to teach first aid as part of the PSHE elements of the National Curriculum.

In 2023, we delivered our Emergency Awareness Training programme to over 10,000 pupils in 74 primary and secondary schools across Wiltshire and Bath. Our ambition is to teach every child in these areas valuable lifesaving skills.

Our aim is to educate the community and provide them with the knowledge to confidently manage a medical emergency prior to the arrival of an ambulance.

There is a £2 per child charge for Emergency Awareness Training for the school’s programme.
