Why is first aid important?

Would you know what to do in a medical emergency? Every day hundreds of accidents occur at work or at home. Having the right skills and knowledge and the confidence to know what to do should a person need medical assistance, can greatly improve their chances of survival and increase the extent that they recover.

This week is #RoadSafetyWeek! This is the UK’s biggest road safety event, annually co-ordinated by Brake.

Since 1997 #RoadSafetyWeek aims to raise awareness about road safety and endorse steps that everyone can take to stop the deaths and injuries that occur on the roads, year-round.

One of every parent’s biggest fears is seeing their child choking. Knowing what to do in this situation could be the difference between life and death for loved ones.

Follow these steps from imperative training to make sure you know what to do if you ever experience a choking child.

A new change from Ofqual will see the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) replaced in the coming months with the new single and more simple to use framework;  Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF),

From GCSE’s to accredited courses, qualifications will now be built from this new Framework, but that doesn’t mean any previous QCF qualifications are no longer in effect. All previously gained qualifications are still valid so long as they’re in date, however, all future certificates gained will now be gained using RQF framework.
