The school playground first aid kit is designed for treating the injuries most common during outdoor play - grazes, bumps, cuts, and nosebleeds. The portable case enables playground supervisors and lunchtime duty staff to carry first aid provision directly to the injured child rather than escorting them to the school first aid room.
Compliance Summary: This kit provides portable playground first aid provision for school duty staff. Schools should position additional kits in the main first aid room and each teaching building alongside playground-specific provision.
Why not just use the classroom kit on the playground?
Playground kits are designed for outdoor carry by duty staff. Classroom kits are wall-mounted or shelf-stored. Having a dedicated playground kit means the supervisor can respond immediately without leaving the playground unsupervised to collect a kit from inside the building.
How many playground kits does a primary school need?
One kit per playground area or per duty supervisor on shift. If your school has separate infant and junior playgrounds with different supervisors, each should have their own kit. Check and restock after each break time.
