On Friday 25th<\/sup> October 2019, our Training team visited Abercynon Community Primary School<\/a> to deliver first aid training to staff during their inset day. We have worked closely with Abercynon Primary for some time and the first aid training was delivered as part of their Gold package with New Directions Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Gold package offers added value training and other benefits, alongside supplying the school with high-quality education staff when required. Account Manager, Chloe Devereux, commented that \u201cAbercynon are a Gold client, so we have a great relationship with them. We have multiple long-term staff members in the school and have even placed teachers in the past that are now permanent in the school. They also regularly take advantage of our penalty shoot-out goals and are due to have our fancy-dress costumes in November for Children in Need too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Gold package, our experienced trainers, Del,\nSteve and Oliver, delivered first aid training for staff at Abercynon Primary. It\nwas attended by 35 teachers, who were all very receptive to the course, taking\nit seriously but also thoroughly enjoying the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del, Steve and Oliver taught the group key life-saving skills,\nincluding CPR. Among the skills taught on the day, the teachers from Abercynon\nPrimary learned how to safely check for consciousness and look for signs of\nbreathing by assessing a casualty. They were taught to observe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • B<\/strong>reathing<\/li>
  • C<\/strong>irculation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
