Before you begin

Welcome to Children first aid – free and simple advice you can trust from the world’s leading provider of first aid training.

You can learn basic first aid skills for your child or baby by using a range of resources within the following topics:

Choking
Burns
High temperatures
Recovery position (for a child / baby who is unconscious and breathing)
CPR (for a child / baby who is unconscious and not breathing)

Just double-click on any of the topics on the carousel to enter that topic. You can then double-click on any of the resources to enter them. The resources include videos, audio files of frequently asked questions, animations, quizzes and additional resources such as posters and links to other useful information.

Before you start, we’d like to ask you a couple of brief questions. This helps us to provide this resource free of charge. If you don’t want to answer the questions, continue to the site.

Note: We’d also like you to answer these two questions again once you’ve used the website (just click on the ‘complete survey’ link). This helps us monitor how effective the website has been in helping you learn about first aid. Thank you.
