RQF Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework requires all early years providers to have at least one person who has a current and full paediatric first aid certificate on the premises and available at all times when children are present.

The QA Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) has been specifically designed to meet the EYFS criteria, ideal for:

• Those who have gained a level 2 and/or level 3 childcare qualification and have entered into an early years setting
• Registered childminders and assistants
• Anyone who has a non-professional involvement with infants and children, such as parents, grandparents and want to learn key paediatric first aid skills.

Completion:

Successful candidates will understand the roles and responsibilities of the paediatric first aider, and will be equipped with the necessary skills to administer safe and effective treatment when dealing with a range of paediatric first aid situations.
