• - Parents/carers or family members who want to learn key paediatric first aid skills

• - Those who work with children and are not required to comply with Ofsted’s Childcare Register or Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 2014 requirements

• Those who want to provide additional support in their organisation to existing paediatric first aiders who are trained to meet Ofsted’s Childcare Register or Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 2014 requirements.
