Department for Education recommendations

The Department for Education recommends that pupils at Key Stage 3 should know:​

• how and when to deliver CPR
• the concept and use of Automated External Defibrillation (AED)​.

In addition, we suggest your pupils should also know the concepts of common first aid emergencies, and that they are provided a recap of the first aid skills taught in Key Stage 2.
