The British Red Cross are currently offering 10-19 year olds (year 6 pupils) FREE Every Day First Aid workshops in the Bristol area. This programme covers very simple to learn and simple to remember First Aid skills. Our targeted workshops focus on First Aid emergencies.
- The sessions can range from 40-120 minutes and are tailored to fit your group or classes needs.
- The workshop helps to enable young people to feel, more confident, willing and able to help someone who is experiencing a first aid emergency.
- You can expect engaging, interactive sessions using thought-provoking age appropriate resources e.g. games, videos, images, discussions, role-plays.
- All our educators are fully trained in facilitation and safeguarding.
- Our crisis education fits into many parts of the curriculum: PSHE: Risks, rights, responsibilities, resilience, how to keep yourself safe; SMSC: Understanding the consequence of actions, helping others; English: Discussions, presentations; Drama: Role-play; Science: Material properties, body.
