In support of the British Heart Foundation and their Nation of Lifesavers scheme PK Education is, this year, pledging to train supply teachers, cover supervisors and teaching assistants in First Aid to ensure their safety and that of the thousands of pupils they teach in schools every day.
Even in low risk environments accidents that can lead to very serious injuries, take place every day. In fact, over 200,000 injuries in the workplace were recorded last year and schools were no exception. To ensure supply staff know how to provide effective First Aid should the worst happen, PK Education has organised a FREE comprehensive, one-day First Aid course.
The First Aid course is being held at PK’s Sheffield and Birmingham offices and is open to all teachers, cover supervisors and teaching assistants who are registered with PK Education.
Wednesday 26th October at PK Education South Yorkshire office on Vicar Lane, Sheffield, from 10:00am – 4:00pm.
Thursday 27th October at PK Education West Midlands’ office on Granville Street, Birmingham, from 10:00am – 4:00pm.
Lee Carpenter, Director of PK education, said: “We are delighted to offer this first wave of workshops completely free of charge and hope to offer further dates across our offices throughout the year.”
By the end of this course, supply teachers will learn how to handle the following:
• Bleeding (minor and severe)
