Would you know what to do if your child had an accident or if your baby was unwell? Have you thought about toddler proofing your home and accident prevention?

This informal Baby and Child first aid class gives parents the opportunity to learn and practice basic resuscitation (CPR) and choking management for both infants (0-1yr) and children (1yr – puberty), in accordance with the Resuscitation Council UK guidelines.

You will also explore;

  • Common causes of accidents within the home and how to prevent them
  • The management of burns, bleeding, fevers, seizures and broken bones.
  • Identifying the unwell child, self care measures and when to seek further support

Please note that due to Covid -19 infection control guideline we will not be able to demonstrate or practice the mouth to mouth or mouth to nose-mouth elements of CPR. Instead we will describe the correct procedure ( a video demonstration will also be made available to attendees on request).

This class costs £45 per couple (one Pregnant woman/person and one birth partner).
