OVERVIEW

Caring for Kids is designed for delivery to parents, grandparents and carers of young children up to the age of 12. This non- accredited course is delivered in a relaxed environment with no assessments, but plenty of hands-on practice for relevant first aid techniques. The topics covered in this course include managing unconsciousness, choking, bleeding, burns, respiratory distress and anaphylaxis, with time set aside to cover the topics you choose as well.

This course has been developed in recognition of the special needs of the injured child as opposed to the general first aid principles covered in other first aid training.

Each participant receives a “Caring for Babies and Children’’ publication (valued at $24.95) on the day of course completion.
