School children aged 5-12 should do a first aid course (like Mini Medics) for several reasons: 1. Life-Saving Skills : Children can learn basic first aid skills that may help them save lives in emergency situations. 2. Confidence and Empowerment : Knowledge of first aid can boost children's confidence and make them feel empowered to act in an emergency. 3. Safety Awareness : First aid training increases children's awareness of safety and helps them recognise potential hazards. 4. Responsibility and Care : It teaches children responsibility and the importance of caring for others. 5. Early Education : Introducing first aid at a young age makes it easier to build on these skills as they grow older. 6. Community Impact : Children trained in first aid can contribute to a safer community by being prepared to assist others in need. 7. Reducing Panic : Training helps children remain calm and focused during emergencies, reducing panic and improving outcomes. These benefits highlight the importance of first aid education for young children, providing them with essential skills that can be valuable throughout their lives.
