Our young people at Thornhill Park School recently developed their understanding and awareness of first aid, with the help of NEAS's training team.

First aid is a valuable life skill which helps individuals become more aware of how to keep themselves and others safe. Pupils attended a first aid session with a member of our Learning and Development team, building upon their skills, knowledge and understanding in relation to first aid.

A number of our pupils enjoyed looking at and exploring the first aid resources whilst other pupils enjoyed taking part and completing hands-on practical activities.

Activities included: exploring first aid boxes and equipment, putting on a bandage, the purpose of CPR, the recovery position, the purpose of defibrillators and when one might be used, and choking. A number of our young people also successfully completed the accredited basic first aid qualification.
