Office life without dogs < office life with dogs! 🐕

We're so lucky to be able to bring our pups to work, and it's great when our learners get a chance to meet them too! 💚

We had the pleasure of meeting Milo at Ouch Learning and Development in Wimborne recently - easily the most charming team member we’ve met this month! 🐶

The best meetings come with wagging tails... What do you think? 😎

Have a great week everyone!

Today, we pause to remember.

Remembrance Day is a time to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served, and continue to serve. 💚

Our Managing Director began his career in the army, and many of our trainers bring their military experience into the work we do every day. 🌱

Their commitment to discipline, resilience, and teamwork shapes the way we deliver work, helping organisations stay safe, compliant, and prepared. 🦺

We remember. We respect. We continue the mission.

Bitten by a vampire?! 🎃🦇

Here’s how to treat it, like any bite wound…

✔ Clean the area
✔ Put a bandage on it and apply pressure
✔ Seek medical attention

Of course, vampires aren’t real, but workplace injuries are. 🧛‍♀️

That’s why first aid training matters all year round, happy Halloween everyone! 🩹👻

What a month! 🌸✨

We’ve had an incredible run of course bookings, and today we took a moment to celebrate the hard work that makes it all possible.

Every booking means another organisation investing in safer, healthier workplaces—and that’s something worth celebrating. 🏆

Here’s to more growth, more learning, and more impact in the months ahead! 🚀

Last week at the Dorset Chamber Business Expo 🎡🌟

We brought the energy (and the canvas bags)! If you didn’t spin our wheel, did you even visit Stand 4? 😉⚡

From networking to bag-collecting, it was all happening at the Marriott Hotels in . 💚

We loved meeting so many brilliant people in business because let’s be honest, who else can multitask a pitch, a prize spin, and a coffee run like a pro? 📈

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat and a laugh. If you missed us, don’t worry, we’ll save you a spin next time. 😊

Can you give first aid without training? ⛑️

Yes, you can help.

Calling 999. Staying calm. Reassuring someone until help arrives. These actions matter.

But here’s the catch: without proper training, even the best intentions can lead to mistakes.

That’s why the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends having trained first aiders on site. It’s not just about doing something, it’s about doing the right thing, safely and legally.

At Ouch, we help businesses stay prepared, compliant, and confident. Because when it comes to first aid, guesswork isn’t good enough.

Thinking about first aid training for your team? Let’s talk.

This World Mental Health Day, Take Action 🌱

Mental health is no longer optional in workplace safety, it’s essential.

The HSE now expects employers to:
• Include mental health in first aid assessments
• Provide MHFA support
• Identify and manage psychological hazards

This World Mental Health Day, make sure your organisation is not just aware but prepared.

At Ouch Learning and Development, we deliver expert-led training and support to help you meet your responsibilities with confidence.

Talk to us today about MHFA and workplace wellbeing.
