Heads of Establishment should work with staff to agree the level of first aid provision that is required for a Routine an Expected Visit. The following factors should be considered:
- How quickly medical care can be accessed
- Any known medical needs
Where the risk assessment determines the risk is low, it may not be necessary to provide a trained first aider. By contrast, if the risk assessment indicates a raised or high level of risk it will be necessary for one or more of the accompanying staff to hold a first aid certificate.
