The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF) qualification is designed to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and is ideal for:

• Childcare professionals: Individuals who have obtained a Level 2 or Level 3 childcare qualification and are working within an early years setting, who wish to be included in the staff-to-child ratios as required by the EYFS framework.

• Parents, guardians, and carers: Those who care for infants and children, such as parents, grandparents, or anyone else with a role in caring for young children, who want to learn essential paediatric first aid skills to be prepared for emergencies.

This 1-day course will equip learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle a variety of paediatric first aid situations, including: managing an unresponsive infant or child, performing CPR, responding to choking, dealing with seizures, controlling external bleeding, and more.
