What the law says
In England, CQC's Regulation 12 (safe care and treatment) and Regulation 18 (staffing) expect providers to make sure staff have the training and skills to care for people safely — including responding when a child becomes seriously unwell. Regulators in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have similar expectations.
The course is aligned with Resuscitation Council UK guidelines for paediatric life support, and gives you evidence for your training file.
How we assess learning
The trainer reviews learning through hands-on skills practice and team scenarios, with feedback as you go, and through questions and discussion during the day.
Your trainer
Your trainer has used these skills for real. They build the day around realistic scenarios on infant and child manikins, so staff practise the decisions as well as the techniques.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the Resuscitation Council UK PILS course?
No. It's aligned with Resuscitation Council UK guidelines, but it isn't the Resuscitation Council UK Paediatric Immediate Life Support (PILS) course. Staff receive a Kasorb certificate.
How is this different from basic life support training?
Basic life support covers CPR, AED use and choking. This course goes further for staff caring for acutely unwell children: recognising deterioration, airway and breathing management, and managing a paediatric arrest as a team.
How is it different from paediatric first aid?
Paediatric first aid is for early years and childcare staff, and covers a wide range of first aid for infants and children. This course is for healthcare staff, and focuses on the deteriorating child and resuscitation.
Do staff need basic life support first?
Tell us about your team when you enquire, and we'll advise whether anyone would benefit from basic life support training first.
Why up to 6?
So everyone gets plenty of hands-on time on the manikins and in the team scenarios, with feedback from the trainer.
Can it be done online?
No. It's hands-on, so it's on-site only.
How quickly can you come?
We confirm within 48 hours, and we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. If you need something sooner, just ask.
