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.

How do we accurately teach our parents, carers, children and workplaces how to do an abdominal thrust on someone who is choking?

We use Trainer vests!

The Act+Fast Trainer is the original wearable anti-choking training vest and we use this in all of our classes and courses. It even made an appearance with us on Dragons’ Den!

The vest lets us give realistic, hands-on training and provides immediate, visual feedback for the correct technique - if you don’t dispel the item from the vest, you haven’t stopped the choking!

Practising abdominal thrusts is often one of the most fun parts of our lessons!

Marti and the team at Act+Fast have supported Mini First Aid for several years, and this year they once again stepped up as a sponsor for our annual conference, for which we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you, Act+Fast! 🫶

Every year, thousands of infants need medical care for poisoning from products commonly found in and around the home.

Items such as cleaning products, cosmetics, medicines, alcohol and gardening products.

If you are planning some spring cleaning in your home over the coming weeks, make sure you keep products in a secure location, in high cupboards or locked storage so that little hands can’t access easily. Also be careful when you are in the middle of cleaning, that you don’t leave the cleaning product sitting anywhere that could be reached by your child.

Poisoning can happen after swallowing, touching, or breathing in a harmful substance.

Symptoms may take a few hours or days to start, so it’s important to get medical advice quickly if there’s a chance you or someone else could have poisoning.

*Symptoms of poisoning can depend on what caused it, and may include:

Feeling sick or being sick
Diarrhoea
Feeling sleepy
Blurred vision
High temperature, or feeling hot, cold or shivery
Confusion
Difficulty breathing
Seizures (fits)
Loss of consciousness

If you suspect your child might have swallowed something toxic:

⚠️Get medical help immediately, call 111 or 999
⚠️Don’t let your child drink anything
⚠️Don’t make your child sick
⚠️If you know what they have swallowed, try to take a sample to hospital
⚠️Residual chemicals on the skin should be rinsed with plenty of water
