Introduction
Introduction
This guidance is directed at First Response Trainers and Training Managers. Here you'll find the relevant information and the trainers’ resources available to deliver First Response training at Scouts. Our First Response programme has been developed in collaboration with Girlguiding, with a common syllabus, resources and acceptance between the two organisations.
The syllabus is focused on conditions where prompt recognition and/or life-saving treatment is required. For details of the content go to objectives, content and duration. It is intended to reflect the most frequent occurrences on incident/accident reports submitted to both the Scouts and Girlguiding.
We will continue to monitor what is included within the syllabus in line with feedback, the wider sector and incident/accident information.
Information on where to find advice to deal with less urgent conditions can be found within the course itself, although it does not appear on the syllabus.
