The law states that you must have up to date training if you are working with children but we feel that if you have any contact with children in your business then a paediatric first aid training course is a must. Whether you are a teacher, nursery nurse, play worker, child minder and more our courses cover exactly what you need to know in a situation where quick thinking could ultimately save the life of a child.
