Heartstart Day

27th Oct 2017

On Monday 23rd October the Key Stage 1&2 classes received training in how to help in an emergency.

After watching some short video clips, the children put into practice everything they learned.

 

Please ask your children some questions at home.

In emergencies we try to follow the following anagram- D.R.S A.B.C

D- Danger- check the surrounding area is safe

R- Response- shake shoulders & loud voice in each ear

S- Shout for help

A- Airways- check airways are clear- hand on forehead & tilt head back

B- Breathing- head close to face & looking for chest movement

if breathing is detected then we move the injured person into the recovery position.

 

C- Compression. We will complete this part before the Christmas break.
