Pupils from Sutton Coldfield’s St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School have received life-saving first aid training as part of an initiative sponsored by construction and infrastructure company Morgan Sindall.

Chris from Paramedical First Aid Training  delivered four engaging sessions to the school’s Key Stage 2 pupils.

The talks and training included guidance on how and when to dial 999, along with an explanation of the dangers of hoax calling and activities set up to reinforce the learning.

Gerry O’Hara, school principal, commented:

“This is a wonderful opportunity for the children in our school to develop an understanding of first aid. The training will help the children develop a range of skills to benefit themselves and potentially provide crucial help during an emergency situation, or even save someone’s life. We are extremely proud of all of the children involved.”
