The Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course is well-suited for businesses with any involvement in childcare, but it’s also accessible to those who wish to acquire skills in providing First Aid to infants in various environments.

Why Ofqual is Important:
Employers are legally required to perform “due diligence” and are directly accountable for the quality and type of training chosen.
Ofqual accredited courses automatically meet this due diligence requirement.
Benefits of Ofqual:
- Quality Assurance: Maintains and enhances qualification and assessment standards.
- Credibility: Lends credibility to qualifications, making them recognised and respected.
- Consistency: Aids in consistent grading, ensuring comparable value across providers.
- Transparency: Ensures clear, accessible criteria for achieving qualifications.
- Public Confidence: Boosts trust in the education system by regulating qualifications.
Ofqual, (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) regulates qualifications, exams, and assessments in England. Though specific to England, similar regulatory bodies exist in other regions to uphold education standards.

Yes, in cases where there is a significant risk, a disregard for established standards or persistent poor compliance with the law, the HSE may prosecute. But this depends on the specifics of your business and what is deemed ‘adequate and appropriate’ for it. Call us for more information.
As a business in the UK, you are required to meet the terms of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations of 1981. The HSE states that employers are required to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed.
All our First Aid courses are regulated and comply with legal requirements. We will ensure your business does too.
