Understand your minimum requirements
Your school must:
- Provide the proper first aid materials, equipment and facilities, including a suitably stocked first aid box. (See the grey box below to find out what items you should have in your box. First aid boxes should be marked with a white cross on a green background)
- Appoint a person to take charge of first aid arrangements – read more about this in the section below
- Make sure you have information for staff that covers the location of first aid:
- Equipment (this should be clearly labelled and easily accessible)
- Facilities
- Personnel
- Make sure first aid provision is available at all times while people are on school premises, and also off the premises while on school visits
- Have accommodation for medically examining and treating pupils, which you could also use for first aid – read more about medical rooms
