If you have black or brown skin and take a first aid class where they tell you to look out for blue lips and red skin marks, how do you know what that looks like for your child?

Medical and first aid literature, imagery and teaching has always traditionally been taught with an assumption that you or your child has white skin. But if your child is black or brown, their lips won’t go blue and rashes and burns will look different. And you need to know this information.

All of our trainers undertake diversity training and in our classes, we teach first aid for all skin colours as standard.

No more guesswork. We will talk you through exactly what to look out for no matter what skin tone your child has.

This brilliant review is for our trainer Lell - you’ll get this same teaching wherever you are in the UK.

Road Safety Week is always a great time to share this reminder about your child’s roadside visibility in these darker winter months.

This image shows the difference in visibility between a child wearing a dark coat (bottom image) and the same child wearing a bright coat (top image), waiting to cross a road in the evening light.

If your child wears a dark winter coat, bear in mind that car drivers may not see them as clearly if they were to step out onto the road.

Of course, the main focus needs to be on driver awareness and reducing car speed, particularly around schools, but it doesn’t hurt to think about small changes we can make that can perhaps add extra protection for our children, such as buying bright clothing!

Please share for awareness 💚

How to ensure your baby is safe in their car seat this winter👇🏻

🚗 Do not strap your child in while they are wearing a bulky coat or sleepsuit - the material of the coat and any air trapped in it will mean that the straps are not tight enough against the baby’s body to stop them being shifted around in an accident.

🚗 Do the “pinch test” - pull the harness straps to a snug tightness which means if you try to pinch the harness horizontally you cannot pinch the material together.

🚗 Make sure the car seat harness straps are not twisted, this may distribute the weight incorrectly and cause injury.

🚗 If your child is in a rear-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or below your child’s shoulders.

🚗 If your child is in a forward-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or above your child’s shoulders.

For lots more advice about the law around car seats and what type of seat is right for your child’s age/weight, please take a listen to episode 24 ofthe Family Health Podcast episode in which we chat with an expert from Graco UK about car seat safety 🎧 We’ll link to this in the comments.

From 2026, the theory test part of learning to drive will include questions on CPR and defibrillators.

It’s not just about ticking a box on a test paper; it’s about feeling confident that you would know what to do if you came across an emergency on the road and that you would be able to step in and help.

Drivers are often the first people on the scene of an accident, so it’s vital to learn the skills of CPR and using an AED, and nothing teaches these skills better than in-person demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Our 2-hour First Aid Awareness Class for Adults​ ​covers heart attack, CPR, using an AED, stroke,​ ​burns, bleeds, severe allergic reaction, choking, seizures and breaks.​ ​It’s informal and gives everyone who attends the skills to respond in an emergency situation.

Come and learn with us, or encourage your teenager who is learning to drive to come and learn with us today - a few hours of learning could save a life 💚

Can you save a life? Could you save your baby’s life if called upon?

If you think the answer might be ‘no’ or ‘not sure’ - we can help!

It’s really unlikely you will ever be called upon to save a life, but imagine being in that position and knowing what to do.

No panic. No overwhelm. No wasted seconds or minutes.

Come and join us for a baby & child first aid class. It’s not just about life-saving, it’s also about head bumps and febrile seizures and cuts and bleeds and burns…..you will learn how to handle and treat all of these things!

What else can you spend £30 on and get SO much knowledge and peace of mind?
