The Emergency First Response (EFR) care for children training is an essential program designed to teach individuals how to provide immediate and effective emergency care to children in critical situations. This training is especially important because children are more vulnerable to accidents and injuries than adults, and their bodies may respond differently to medical emergencies.
The EFR care for children training covers a wide range of emergency situations, including choking, drowning, allergic reactions, burns, and cardiac arrest. It provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognise and respond to these emergencies quickly and appropriately, potentially saving a child's life.
One of the significant benefits of this training is that it prepares participants to remain calm and focused in high-stress situations. This is particularly important when dealing with children, who may be frightened and uncooperative. By knowing what to do and how to communicate effectively, individuals can provide the best possible care and support to the child.
Furthermore, the EFR care for children training is useful for parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone who works with children. By completing this training, individuals can help to create a safer environment for children and ensure that they receive the best possible care in case of an emergency.

A really good training course, very professionally presented by Tracy. I’ve been on lots of training courses over the years and too often they can be soporific! Tracy is one of those rare training professionals who can deliver training and keep a person interested all day! Great course. Highly recommended!

Couldn't recommend Tracy and her team enough for a first aid course. Having to renew it every 3 years used to send me to sleep. Not with these guys! Professional, up to date and with lots of toys to play with, without the death by powerpoint.
