First aid teaching resources
Our free teaching resources are designed to give children and young people the skills, confidence and willingness to act when someone is in need of first aid. They also make first aid simple to teach and fun to learn.
In 2020, we’re launching a brand new online first aid teaching platform for learners ages 5–18. It’s packed full of age-differentiated practical activities, videos, quizzes and guidance to support teachers to deliver first aid education.
You'll get primary and secondary teaching ideas about:
- what to do in a first aid emergency
- basic first aid for common injuries
- how children and young people can stay safe
- behaving with kindness
- coping skills in challenging situations
- what might prevent people from stepping in to help and how to overcome barriers to action.
This exciting new resource will also cover the new RSE and Health curriculum requirements for teaching first aid in primary and secondary schools in England.
Find out more about our new first aid teaching resources.
Using our current resources
In the meantime, First Aid Learning for Young People and Life. Live it. will be available for current users.
Our new resource will be ready for all teachers and educators to access by September 2020.
