FIRST AID ON CHILDREN
Every year, more than 30,000 children are treated for burns and scalds in the UK and of those up to 6,000 require in-patient treatment.
Despite such numbers, studies show that seven out of 10 adults do not know what to do with a child in a medical emergency, no matter whether dealing with burns, electrical accidents or other injuries or illnesses.
A basic First Aid on Children course can make all the difference to help or rescue a child in an emergency.
