In their introduction in their 1998 publication 'Guidance on First Aid for Schools, the Department of Education and Employment state: "First-aid provision must be available at all times while people are on school premises, and also off the premises whilst on school visits". |

"Who is responsible for First Aid in Schools?
The Employer
Health and safety legislation places duties on employers for the health and safety of their employees and anyone else on the premises. In schools this includes responsibility for the head teacher and teachers, non-teaching staff, pupils and visitors (including contractors). Who the employer is depends on the type of school. For example:EA is the employer in county, controlled and special agreement schools, and in pupil referral units; - The governing body is the employer in city technology colleges, voluntary-aided, nonmaintained special, grant-maintained and grantmaintained special
schools;
- The owner or the trustees are the employers in some independent schools.
The employer is responsible, under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA), for making sure that a school has a health and safety policy. This should include arrangements for first aid, based on a risk assessment of the school, and should cover:
