Street First Aid

This context-based Street First Aid initiative provides practical training relevant to their lives, enabling them to manage their health and that of their communities.
 

With the statutory requirement for first aid education in England's national curriculum, this programme presents a vital opportunity to extend this learning to young people across various education and youth settings, including in HMP secure estates in the Humber region. The project is supported by the four Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) and the Humber VPP’s A&E Navigator service across the Humber region.

The Street First Aid sessions are delivered by a trained facilitator who is a full-time employee. All facilitators are trained in first aid, safeguarding, and trauma awareness. They are also expected to have experience working with young people, ideally in a delivery setting, and to be confident engaging with them across a variety of environments. The programme is designed to focus on simple, memorable skills that young people can easily understand and replicate.

Sessions are FREE to access for organisations in the Humber region and can be requested by e-mailing: alice.robinson1@sja.org.uk

Delivery Organisation: St John Ambulance

Schedule: Flexible

Session length

Sessions can be 60, 90, or 120 minutes long.

How many can attend the session

Sessions are designed to work with a range of group sizes up to a maximum of 30 young people.

Sometimes bookings need more than 30 individuals to take part. When that happens, St John's will book multiple sessions to accommodate everyone.

Where sessions take place

Sessions should take place somewhere that has plenty of space. St John's will discuss options with you during the booking process, but it will depend on the size of the group.

For a school or an educational setting, it is usually recommended to use a classroom or hall space. For a local organisation or community group, organisers should provide a suitable venue with plenty of space.

St John Ambulance provides all the equipment for the sessions. However it is asked that the host provides a suitable space with chairs, a table if there is one, and a whiteboard or screen.
