The Education (School Premises) Regulations 1996 require every school to provide a suitable room that can be used for medical and dental treatment when required. Your first aid room doesn’t need to be used solely for first aid purposes but must be readily available when needed. Ideally, it should be situated near a toilet.
Typical examples of the equipment and facilities a school first aid room should contain are:
Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, including children, and the first few minutes are vital. Having a defibrillator on site that can be accessed quickly can drastically improve the chance of survival.
Defibrillators are easy to use, with voice and visual prompts to guide you through what to do. You do not need to be trained to use one, but we recommend that school employees take a defibrillator training course to ensure they can use the device quickly and confidently in an emergency.
Defibrillators can be used safely on children over the age of eight. For children aged between one and eight, you will need separate paediatric defibrillator pads or a separate paediatric defibrillator, unless your defibrillator has a special paediatric casualty function. For more information, see our guide to defibrillators.
All our defibrillators are appropriate for schools.
All homes, cars, leisure centres and workplaces should have first aid kits. Find out what first aid supplies you need.
