FOREST SCHOOL FIRST AID

Part of the requirement to be a Forest School Leader is to have a 16-hour outdoor-based First Aid qualification. Traditionally this has been an Outdoor First Aid Certificate, however pure Outdoor First Aid is aimed at those that are away from civilisation by a considerable distance and also adult-orientated. It is not totally aligned with the Forest School environment (although it is still an accepted qualification)... Nowadays Forest School Practitioners can also access a Forest School First Aid qualification to meet this demand. Whilst based on the Outdoor qualification and whilst it is still a 16-hour course, the content is more tailored to the Forest School environment.
