ADDITIONAL TRAINING

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to arrange to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training. However, having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!

The QA Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (QCF) qualification is designed for individuals who wish to act as an emergency first aider in their workplace. Upon successful completion of this qualification, candidates will be equipped with the essential skills needed to give safe, prompt and effective first aid in emergencies.

What’s more, as a regulated qualification, employers can book this course for their employees and rest assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks introduced in the recent HSE changes.

The Training Trust’s contribution to PREVENT

The Training Trust has a responsibility to protect young people and vulnerable adults deemed to be at risk of any harm under the Safeguarding agenda. This is extended to all those who may be vulnerable to radicalisation.

The office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT), in the Home Office, works to counter the threat from terrorism. Their work is covered in the government’s counter-terrorism strategy CONTEST which is primarily organised around the following four key principles:

• PURSUE: to stop terrorist attacks and acts of terrorism
• PREVENT: to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism
• PROTECT: to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack or acts of terrorism
• PREPARE: to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack or acts of terrorism

The PREVENT principle has the following three national objectives:

• Objective 1: to respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it
• Objective 2: prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support
• Objective 3: work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation which we need to address

This training can be arranged on demand. Please contact us for more information.
