mmm, i thought you just had to redo the first aid every 3 years, but i surpose to keep up with things a refresher every year is good practice. i have done 4 now and every time resustation changes i can never remember the most up to date. just hope i never have to perform it for real. i have the 2nd half of my first aid couse on saturday, and i am told its changed again.

It's statutory to update every 3 years... never heard of doing annual refreshers and they aren't mentioned in the EYFS... I know Playgroup / Nursery leaders have to do them annually, but not, as far as I'm aware, Childminders Where did you hear that Lana? Sarahx

It was on our first aid course, the instructor mentioned it........
thinking about it though our course did have playgroup and nursery staff on it so he could have been talking just about them and I wasnt listening (note to self... pay attention at these things! ).
So I dont need to do refreshers every year then. At least thats one thing of my mind now then.
Thanks both

My first aid runs out three years after I completed it but when we were taking it we were told that they were bringing in that it would have to be done every year. Might be worth asking for clarification on it to be on the safe side
