First Response          

All adult leaders should hold a current first aid qualification. If you hold a Guide Association qualification (e.g. First Response) it must be renewed every 3 years to remain current.  First Aid or Emergency Aid qualifications from other bodies are acceptable qualifications provided that they cover the syllabus required by the Guide Association — for more information speak to your Commissioner or see appendix 2 of the Leadership Qualification (2000).

What do we mean by First Response

This is a syllabus set by Girlguiding UK details of which are shown in the Adult Leadership Training Scheme book plus other publications.  One of the main features that makes it different from 'First Aid at Work' or other recognised training is that it includes child resuscitation.

The certificate is only valid for three years.

New

A one day course is offered to all new guiders on the Adult Leadership Scheme, plus those with an existing qualification which has expired

Renewal

This training is for approximately two hours depending on the number of questions raised. 

Who can attend

16+, Guiders, Unit Helpers, Trefoil

Note

For those with a delicate disposition we run special sessions.  Please contact the training team and discuss.

The First Response leaflet and booking form can be downloaded and printed from the Training page.
