🔥 Bonfire Night Safety – What To Do If Someone Gets Burned 🔥

Bonfire Night is meant to sparkle, not sting! As the celebrations light up the sky, it’s important to know what to do if someone suffers a burn.

Here’s what you should do:
✅ Cool the burn immediately under cool running water for at least 20 minutes.
🚫 Do not use ice, creams, or butter – they can make it worse.
🩹 Cover the burn with cling film or a clean plastic bag to protect it.
📞 Seek medical help if it’s larger than the person’s hand, on the face, hands, feet, joints, or ge****ls, or if you’re unsure.

A few simple steps can make a huge difference in preventing long-term injury.

🎆 Let’s keep everyone safe this Bonfire Night – give this post a like and share it to spread the word!

If you’d like to learn more and gain confidence to handle real-life emergencies, join our First Aid at Work course on 1 & 2 December here in Jersey.

🎃 Half term and Halloween safety reminder 👻

Half term is here and many of us are out and about with our children enjoying trick or treating, parties, and all the excitement that comes with this time of year.

But in all the fun, accidents can happen in seconds. Do you know what to do if a child starts choking? Or if they have a burn, a bump to the head, or a sudden allergic reaction?

Paediatric First Aid is not just for parents, it is for anyone who spends time with children. Knowing how to act quickly and calmly can make all the difference in an emergency.

At Life Vital Academy, our paediatric first aid courses are designed to give you the skills and confidence to respond when it matters most.

Let’s keep each other safe this half term and Halloween.
Let’s keep our children safe. 🎃🧡

First aid skills save lives. Like any practical skill, they fade if not refreshed, so a yearly update matters more than you might think.

Why a yearly refresh?
• Keeps your response automatic when every second counts.
• Brings you up to speed with any changes in guidance and best practice.
• Rebuilds confidence so you are ready to act in a real emergency.
• Helps your workplace or community group stay prepared.

Our short, practical refreshers are designed to help you practise essential skills and refresh knowledge quickly. They are ideal for carers, workplace first aiders, sports clubs and parents.

Want to book or find out more? Email us at learn@lifevitalacademy.co.uk or send us a direct message. We offer flexible dates and group rates and can tailor a session to your needs.

Stay prepared. Stay confident. Stay safe.
