FIRST AID TRAINING First Aid Training on offer in Leek new year is a great time for organisations to refresh their training plans and check that they are up to date with statutory requirements. Support Staffordshire (Staffordshire Moorlands) is helping local voluntary and community organisations, and also small employers, to meet health and safety standards by offering local first aid training for staff and volunteers. National guidelines require one fully qualified individual for every 10 employees. As staff changes occur, expertise is often lost and organisations can quickly find that they do not have enough properly qualified first aiders. Two courses are on offer during January – a one day basic course called Emergency First Aid at Work on Tuesday 28th January and a more in-depth three day qualification called First Aid at Work on Thursday 23rd; Friday 24th and Monday 27th January. The cost for the one day course is £50 for Support Staffordshire members and £60 for nonmembers. The cost for the three day course is £130 for Support Staffordshire members and £150 for A non-members. All training takes place at The Support Staffordshire Training Room at 9 High Street, Leek ST13 5DZ. For further information or to book a place please call 01538 381356 before 10th January.
