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".

 
 
 The Department for Education and Employment publication goes on to identify:
 
"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:

 

  • Numbers of first aiders/appointed persons;
  • Numbers and locations of first-aid containers
  • Arrangements for off-site activities/trips;
  • Out of school hours arrangements eg lettings, parents evenings.
     
    It is the employer's responsibility to make sure that the statutory requirements for provision of first aiders are met, that appropriate training is provided and that correct procedures are followed. The employer should be satisfied that any training has given staff sufficient understanding, confidence and expertise". Guidance on First Aid in Schools, D.E.E. (1998).
