Event Details

Outline

Having the correct paediatric first aid provision is not only a statutory requirement for the majority of childcare providers, it is extremely important for the safety of children. The QA Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) qualification is ideal for those who work or intend to work in a childcare setting, as it has been specifically designed to fulfil Ofsted’s first aid requirements and adheres to Department for Education regulations.

It is a legal requirement to renew this qualification every 3 years to account for any updates to legislation or practice.
