Safety
Keeping yourself safe
When you help someone who needs first aid, you must keep yourself safe. This could mean looking out for any dangers, or making sure you’re with an adult you know and trust to help you. Remember, you can always call for help if you need to.
Guidance regarding giving first aid in the current coronavirus situation can be found in our News section. Please always consider your own personal safety first when delivering first aid.
In these activities, you’ll learn how to look out for some of the dangers that could cause an accident. You’ll also practise calling 999, so that you can safely get help in an emergency and look at some safety scenarios.
