Would you like to EMPOWER YOUR CHILD with the knowledge and skills to handle emergency situations?
Our Kids Learn First Aid course series has been designed to make kids aged 9 - 12 years aware of potentially dangerous scenarios as they go about their daily lives, and teach them WHAT TO DO should the worst happen.
The THREE COURSES in this series address different themes and our expert tutors use age-appropriate scenarios to deliver each session:
-
WATER SAFETY
-
SAFETY AT HOME
-
ROAD & CAR SAFETY

What will kids ACHIEVE during the Kids Learn First Aid - SAFETY AT HOME course?
At age 9-12 years, kids become increasingly independent, spending plenty of time in the home environment with siblings or friends playing, trying their hand at meal preparation and using electronics.
This course will teach them skills that WILL STAY WITH YOUR KIDS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES, allowing them to become responsible and safety-conscious individuals. Here's what will be addressed:
INCREASED AWARENESS
Kids will develop a heightened awareness of potential dangers at home, enabling them to identify and avoid hazardous situations more effectively.
LIFE-SAVING SKILLS
Kids will acquire essential life-saving skills such as CPR, choking manoevre and how to deal with common injuries like cuts, bleeding and allergic reactions, including the use of an EpiPen.
SAFE PRACTICES
Kids will learn how to stay safe while cooking and during mealtimes, including prevention of choking incidents and appropriate responses if they occur.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
They will gain the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to common emergencies like burns and electrical shocks, ensuring a safer home environment for themselves and others.
