First Response Training

Posted on by

1st Aid is required for all volunteer leader roles and no session/activity can take place without a volunteer with a valid first response qualification.

There is now a variety of ways to met the requirements including F2F min. 6 hour course, Zoom sessions, e-learning and F2F practical/online or a recognised 1st aid qualification.

Courses are run across Scouting and it is the volunteers’ responsibility to find a course that suits them.

In Farnham District we are planning to put on 3 courses per year Jun; Oct; Feb, this is likely to be with an external provider and each is of 12 participants.

We are looking to start in June with a blended format; e-learning and then F2F practical session – the e-learning is designed by Hampshire Scouts and takes around 2.5 hours with a certificate which will be needed to attend the practical session.

The e-learning is transferable between our own practical sessions as well as those of other counties.
