Forest School First Aid

Course Overview

The Forest School First Aid course is designed specifically for Forest School practitioners who deal with children from 1 year of age upwards. The course content and context is totally integrated with the Forest School ethos and rationale. It includes the potential illnesses and injuries of young children as well as those of adult helpers. The first day covers basic first aid skills and the second moves into incident management.

ITC has a well established relationship with the key Forest Schools national training organisation – ‘Archimedes Training’ which has lead to the development of this tailored first aid training course.
