Baby & Child First Aid Awareness
Becoming a parent or caring for a child brings so much joy, but it can also come with plenty of worries. While we can't
protect our little ones from every bump, scrape or illness, we can be prepared to act quickly and confidently if an emergency arises.
This friendly, hands-on Baby & Child First Aid Awareness course will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to respond to common first aid emergencies involving babies and children. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, family member or childcare provider, you'll leave feeling more confident and better prepared should the unexpected happen.
The course is informal, engaging and supportive, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout. There's no pressure, no tests and no assessment - just a welcoming environment where you can learn at your own pace.
Courses are held regularly at local venues across the region, or you can book a private session in the comfort of your own home with friends and family at a date and time that suits you. Babies are very welcome to attend.
At Little Lives First Aid, it's all about making high-quality first aid training accessible, flexible and convenient for busy families.
