CPR CHANGES.
First Aid at Work training courses DO NOT include resuscitation procedures for children 0-18yrs.
Under current guidelines First Aiders in Secondary schools SHOULD know the Paediatric version on CPR .
Resuscitation council current guidelines are: A child requiring resuscitation is NOW classed as 1-18years old.
The differences between adult and paediatric resuscitation are largely based on differing aetiology. if the rescuer believes the victim to be a child (1-18yrs) then they should use the paediatric guidelines.
First aid provision in schools should be enough to ensure that first aid can be administered without delay should the occasion arise be available at all times
The consequences of taking no action are likely to be more serious than those of trying to assist in an emergency.
This means that arrangements should take account of absences of an or appointed person and reflect alternative work practices.
It is the responsibility of school leaders to ensure that their first aid staff have received the appropriate first aid training delivered by a competent first aid training provider.

Whilst some pupils will have long-term and complex medical conditions or carry their own medication (for example, an inhaler for asthma or adrenaline for intramuscular use in anaphylaxis)
Some pupils may need to have access to life saving prescription drugs in an emergency, the details will be recorded in the pupil’s individual health care plan and identified staff members will be aware of what to do.
Although administering medicines is not part of teachers’ professional duties, they should take into account the needs of pupils with medical conditions that they teach.
Any member of school staff should know what to do and respond accordingly when they become aware that a pupil with a medical condition needs help.
