💚 Create Family First Aid Course – Bringing Lifesaving Skills Home! 💚

This week I had the pleasure of running a Family First Aid Course for a wonderful group who wanted to feel confident dealing with emergencies at home — from bumps and burns to choking and CPR.

It was great to see parents, grandparents, and even teens getting hands-on and learning how to stay calm and take action when it matters most. 👏

If you’d like to host a Family First Aid session in your own home or community, I can bring the training to you!
Perfect for:
👶 New parents
👨‍👩‍👧 Families
👵 Carers and grandparents
🎉 Small groups of friends

📍 Available across London and Kent
📅 Flexible dates and times
📩 Message me to find out more or to book your own in-house session!

Let’s make sure every family knows what to do in an emergency. ❤️

The Reality of Cardiac Arrest
Every year in the UK, 43,000 people receive resuscitation attempts.
🏠 Most happen at home.
👴 Most involve men over 65 with underlying heart conditions.
But here’s the difference:
When bystanders are trained and act fast, survival triples.

The Message That Matters
When someone collapses, seconds count.
You don’t need to be a medic — you just need to know what to do.
With the 2025 updates, CPR and AED training are simpler, faster, and more effective than ever.
💪 Be ready. Be confident. Be the reason someone survives.

As nights get darker, let’s keep each other safe 🌙
With many children walking or cycling to school, dog walks in the evening, and people commuting after dusk, it’s more important than ever to be visible, alert, and prepared.
✅ Wear reflective or bright gear�✅ Use lights and check your equipment�✅ Stick to well-lit, familiar routes�✅ Walk in groups or pairs when possible�✅ Teach children safe crossing practices (stop, look, listen)
In England in 2023, ~49% of primary school children and ~37% of secondary children usually walk to school — but that means many are exposed to darker conditions on their way. GOV.UK
And while dog walking is great for health and wellbeing, accidents involving hand and wrist injuries from leads are an underappreciated risk, especially when visibility is low. The Guardian
For more insights and safety tips (including for public transport and transit waiting), check out this guide: [Public Transportation Safety Guide for Kids (U.S.)] (https://www.dibellalawoffice.com/public-transportation-safety-guide-for-kids/)
Let’s look out for one another as the nights grow longer.

This guide was made by a firm in the USA but its contents are relevant for here 🚍 Keeping Our Kids Safe on Public Transit Matters 🚍

Is your child ready to ride the bus or train on their own? Ensuring their safety isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

At DiBella Law they believe every child deserves the confidence and protection to navigate public transportation securely. That’s why we created this Public Transportation Safety Guide for Kids — a resource full of practical tips and tools to help parents and children travel with peace of mind.

🔗 Read it here: dibellalawoffice.com/public-transportation-safety-guide-for-kids/

Why this matters:
• Children must know how to spot safe vs. unsafe situations
• They need strategies for emergencies or getting lost
• Understanding their legal rights helps protect them if something goes wrong

👉 Share this with fellow parents, caregivers, and schools — let’s make sure no child is left unprepared.

✨ My favourite question so far… “Do you use manikins for training?”

(Yes, someone genuinely asked if we get people to practise CPR on each other 😅).

Just to clarify – We use the latest Laerdal QCPR manikins, which connect to phones and screens to give real-time feedback on the quality of CPR. This means every learner can see exactly how effective their compressions and breaths are.

🫁 Fresh manikin lungs are used for every course
🧴 We follow the latest hygiene guidelines
🧼 Manikins are cleaned thoroughly and learners use wipes and face shields for complete safety

So yes, it’s hands-on, realistic, and 100% safe. ✅
