This 2-hour programme is designed for parents and carers
of new-born babies. It covers what to do in an emergency situation involving
choking, drowning or unconsciousness in babies up to 12 months.
Training can be organised for mother and baby clinics or any other group which has contact with babies. Fathers are equally welcome!
Training can be delivered at your own venue or at our own training headquarters in Whitley Bay. Groups of up to twenty can be accommodated, though ideally groups should be no more than 12.
Training is hands-on and includes a Carer's Guide booklet, laminated step-by-step lifesaving guide and a certificate of attendance. There is a small fee per person to cover the training materials, but otherwise the course is delivered free.
