Six weeks to build confidence
A carefully structured programme combining clear explanations, engaging activities and hands-on practice.

Checking for a response, airway and breathing, and the recovery position.
CPR and AED
Practising adult CPR and understanding how a defibrillator helps.
Breathing emergencies
Recognising asthma and severe allergic reactions and getting help.
Bleeding and injuries
Simple first aid responses, dressings and keeping someone safe.
Lifesaver challenge
Reviewing skills, practising scenarios and celebrating progress.
Designed for young learners
More doing, less sitting
Children work in small teams, use age-appropriate training equipment and practise realistic scenarios in a friendly environment.
Each pupil has a Junior Lifesavers passport to record their progress. The programme includes a completion certificate and badge, with recognition at a school assembly where arranged.
This is an introductory educational club, not a regulated first aid qualification.
