CITIZENSHIP IN COMMUNITY FIRST AID
SCHOOL ■ SPORT ■ HOME ■ COMMUNITY


Citizenship in community first aid is aimed at providing young people, in full time education, with the important life skills to make a real difference between life and death. Whether participating in school activities, sport, at home with the family, or out and about in the community. Preserving life, preventing someone's condition from deteriorating and promoting their recovery, are all positive hallmarks of a caring citizen. In addition the programme will aim to nurture those important emotions and skills which create respect, support and concern for human life. These cut across everything we do in our daily lives.
