Central, service and school arrangements

Facilities are responsible for risk assessing and ensuring first aid arrangements are in place for all the centrally managed sites.

Services are responsible for risk assessing and ensuring adequate first aid arrangements are in place for staff and volunteers working at other locations or for mobile workers. Establishment managers must include Service Users and where possible, it is good practice to include members of the public for example in libraries.

Schools are responsible for risk assessing and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place for staff, volunteers, pupils, and visitors to site especially at special events such as sports days and fetes etc.

The first aid arrangements for each service/school/establishment must be in writing and be drawn to the attention of all employees.
