First Aid After School Club (Somerset)

First Aid After School Club
Somerset Only

Here at Wright Way Training we are very passionate about children learning first aid skills. We are offering schools across Somerset the opportunity to work in partnership with us. First aid is now part of the National Curriculum and the Department for Education suggest that children aged 7 years and above have the cognitive abilities to be able to learn first aid skills. Therefore we are offering pupils in Year 3 and above the opportunity to come along to an after school club where they can learn basic first aid. At the end of the course the children will receive a first aider badge and a certificate of their achievements.
