✨ 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐔𝐊 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 ✨

The Resuscitation Council UK has released updates to paediatric and infant life-support guidance, and we want you to know that Mini First Aid is already on it. We’re rolling out team training and updating our lesson plans to make sure everything we teach reflects the very latest evidence.

If you’ve trained with us before or gained a workplace qualification with us, don’t worry, the qualification remains valid, and the skills you learned are still safe and effective. First aid evolves as new research emerges, and these updates simply offer techniques that may help rescuers deliver even better-quality care.

Here are some of the key changes:

💚 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐏𝐑: The preferred method for infants under 1 is now a two-thumb encircling technique. This can help you achieve consistent, effective chest compression depth with less finger fatigue. Other methods (one-hand or two-hand) can still be used if age-appropriate and needed.

💚 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬: Still start with 5 back blows. If that doesn’t work, follow with 5 chest compressions using the encircling technique, which replaces the two-finger approach.

💚 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐄𝐃:
• Use paediatric mode for infants and children under 25 kg (approx. under age 8 😎)
• If there’s no paediatric setting, use adult mode, don’t delay.
• Pad placement guidance has been refined for clarity and effectiveness.

These improvements aim to make life-saving actions even more effective across all ages.

We’ll keep you updated as we roll out these updates in our classes, and we'll share demonstrations on the new techniques here on our socials as soon as we have these ready.

As always, our mission is to make sure you feel confident, informed, and ready to help when it matters most 💚 Resuscitation Council 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 💚

🥶 The weather is starting to get cold now we have reached November.

🚘 It's definitely worth knowing, or being reminded of how to keep your little ones safe in their car seat during the winter months ahead. 👍🏻💚

❗️ The straps may look tight enough over a coat but in a crash the fabric will compress and leave gaps; often enough room for a child to be thrown out of the car seat completely.

✅ Coats off, stick the heating on and cover with a blanket once they’re correctly fastened in. 🚗

⚠️ Are you aware of the signs and symptoms of Type 1 diabetes in children? ⚠️
⁣
❗️Children can develop Type 1 diabetes at any time and a quick diagnosis and early treatment is very important.
⁣
❗️Type 1 diabetes causes the level of glucose (sugar) in blood to become too high. It happens when the body can’t produce enough of a hormone called insulin, which controls blood glucose.
⁣
✅Be aware of the 4 Ts:
⁣
🚽 Toilet - Going to the toilet a lot, bed wetting by a previously dry child or heavier nappies in babies
⁣
🥤 Thirsty - Being really thirsty and not being able to quench the thirst
⁣
💤 Tired - Feeling more tired than usual
⁣
⚖️ Thinner - Losing weight or looking thinner than usual
⁣
❗️It is important we do not ignore the symptoms of . If your child has any of the signs and symptoms you should call your doctor immediately.

Are your child's Christmas gifts dangerous?

Mums and dads, you are probably already starting to think about, or pick up, Christmas presents and stocking fillers for your child, so this is your friendly reminder to think about potential choking and other hazards that may be present in your child's presents!

🎁 Button batteries - these little silver disc batteries are found in lots of toys and other gadgets around your house and are highly toxic. If swallowed, they can corrode your child's throat or stomach.

🎁 Lego and other small building bricks - these are not only painful to step on, but some pieces are small enough for a baby or child to swallow, and sharp edges make them easy to get stuck in a child's windpipe.

🎁 Magnet toys - these popular toys are small and easy to swallow. They can travel to the stomach and gather together, tearing internal tissue.

🎁 Balloons - balloons and other latex items are a choking hazard if swallowed or inhaled, which can happen easily if your child is blowing a balloon or playing with burst leftover material.

🎁 Buttons & detachable parts - toys or dolls with small parts like button eyes and wheels can be dangerous as items like this can fall off or be pulled off and swallowed.

🎁 Marbles - in the same way that grapes and round foods are a hazard, so are marbles that can easily lodge in your child's airway.

This list is by no means exhaustive. We don't want to be the toy/fun police, but please take a few minutes when choosing toys or gifts for your child to think about potential risks and don't leave your child to play with a new toy on their own - check it out yourself before you hand it to your child to play with.
