Ian Kershaw MBE, Managing Director of The FAIB, said: “We are passionate about promoting the highest levels of first aid and training as many people as possible to feel confident in their role as a first aider. This is especially relevant within a preschool childcare environment and we are delighted to have developed the In Safe Hands Award to recognise such excellent staff knowledge and facilities.”
Wendy Hartley, Director of Brown Bear Childcare, said: “There as so many excellent pre-school childcare providers in Stockport, and indeed across the UK, so we are clearly delighted to be the first to receive the In Safe Hands Award.
“Its introduction provided us with a highly reputable, trusted and cost-effective way to ensure that more of our staff are trained to a high level of paediatric first aid. The health and wellbeing of the children is at the heart of everything we do. This award ensures that we exceed Government guidelines and provides parents with even greater peace of mind.”
Shaun Ingram, Managing Director at Cardiac Science, said: “The Department for Education is encouraging all educational facilities to consider purchasing AED devices and we are working hard to extend the potentially lifesaving provision to nurseries. As a result, we’re offering a significant discount on our AEDS – along with fundraising support - to those nurseries and providers trained to use them on this course.
