Your requirements

Academies and independent schools You're required to have a first aid policy in accordance with The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 schedule part 3 (13). However, it's our understanding that you're not required to have a standalone first aid policy but, if you prefer, can include it in your statutory health and safety policy in a way that makes them easily accessible. You're also required to make your first aid policy available to parents/carers
