The childcare first aid leaflet provides an A4 reference guide covering first aid procedures specific to babies and young children. Includes paediatric choking response and infant CPR technique alongside general childcare first aid guidance. Designed for display in nurseries, pre-schools, and registered childcare settings.
Compliance Summary: This leaflet provides paediatric first aid reference for childcare practitioners. It supplements but does not replace the mandatory paediatric first aid training required for registered childcare staff.
Is this leaflet required for OFSTED registration?
OFSTED requires registered childcare providers to have staff trained in paediatric first aid. This leaflet supplements that training by providing a quick-reference guide for display in each room. It is not a substitute for the mandatory training requirement.
How is paediatric CPR different from adult CPR?
Paediatric CPR uses different compression depths, ventilation ratios, and technique for infants and children compared to adults. The leaflet illustrates these differences. All childcare staff should complete a certified paediatric first aid course to learn the correct techniques.
