ITC Level 3 Award in Forest School First Aid – 2 day course at Hadrian School
Training Dates: TBC
Tutor: Mike Bartlett
Cost: £300.00 per delegate
This qualification indicates an individual can undertake the role of a first aider in a Forest School setting where there is a duty of care for the welfare of children and adults (and infants if necessary). In its Guidance note – First Aid for Forest School, the Forest School Association
(FSA) strongly recommends that a Level 3 qualified Forest School Practitioner holds a current first aid qualification as covered in the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) statement of good practice for Outdoor First Aid at Band 3. This course meets the criteria laid out and has been supported by the Forest School Association. This course would also meet the criteria laid out for Level 2 and Level 1 qualified Forest School Assistants. The course has been designed to easily fulfil the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act and can easily be added to in order to meet the requirements for effective paediatric first aid training set out in The Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance. It may also have been identified as necessary by a workplace risk assessment.
The qualification will benefit all who are present in a Forest School setting, whether this is for infants, early years children, other pre-puberty children, post-puberty young people and adults.
