Home learning pathway

We know that teachers and parents have a lot to keep them busy, but what could be more empowering than learning vital first aid skills? Even better the whole family can get involved.

First aid champions* is packed full of learning activities for 5 to 18 year olds. From films and photos to role plays and quizzes there’s something for everyone.

To help you get started on the website we’ve created two learning pathways (for each of the primary and secondary sections) to help you use the site in a home-school setting. The whole site is free for you to use and explore, the pathways are there to guide if needed.
