Paediatric First Aid Training for Licensed Premises

​Essential First Aid Skills for Venues Serving Children & Families

​

Our Paediatric First Aid course for licensed premises is designed for pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafés, and family-friendly venues where children are present on the premises. The course equips staff with the knowledge and confidence to respond to medical emergencies involving infants and children, supporting safer operations and responsible venue management.

​

Why Paediatric First Aid Matters in Licensed Premises

• Public safety and customer welfare

• Safer family-friendly environments

• Demonstrable due diligence during inspections

​

This training complements your wider licensing compliance and staff training framework.
