Build Confidence

Witnessing an emergency can be traumatic – imagine if you were a child at home and the adult in the house was injured…and they didn’t know what to do?

The majority of accidents happen in the home, often children will be at home with just one adult. Give them the skills, knowledge and confidence to stay safe, react in an emergency and get help on the way.

Who do we work with?

  • Public Classes in the community
  • Schools
  • Home Education Groups
  • Scouts
  • Guides
  • Youth groups

Age appropriate

Our classes start from just 3...yes that's right! Children as young as 3 can call for help, recognise the number 9, ask for an ambulance, give their address and put an adult in the recovery position.

As the children grow, they can learn, retain and do more.

They just need to be taught how.

And to practice - if they only learn it once they could forget, so we ensure that adults know how to support their understanding at home.

You would be impressed with what your child could do!
