Education & Schools Sector Courses
Aid Training & Operations has successfully provided first aid training for schools at education establishments around the UK and will deliver courses at your setting on a date to suit you.
Who is responsible for first aid in schools?
In schools, employers are responsible for the pupils, visitors (including contractors) and all staff, including the head teachers, teachers and non-teaching staff.
Depending on the type of school, who the employer is will be different:
For controlled, county and special arrangement schools the Local Education Authority (LEA) is the employer. This also includes pupil referral units.
For independent schools, the employer is the owner of the trustees.
For city technology colleges, voluntary-aided and non-maintained special schools the governing body is the employer. This is also the case for grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools.
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HSWA), the employer is responsible for ensuring a health and safety policy is put in place at schools, including the arrangements both on and off site, the number of first aiders and the location of first aid boxes.
What education & schools courses are available?
Covering introductory, in-depth, and Paediatric First Aid courses, our training is regularly relied on by education establishments all over the UK.
