Qualsafe Level 2 Award in citizenAID (RQF)
Practise techniques for dealing with catastrophic bleeding and the skills and knowledge needed to save lives in the aftermath of a terrorist attack.
Why Take This First Aid Course?
With the introduction of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — Martyn’s Law, organisations are increasingly expected to prepare for and respond effectively to a range of emergencies, including potential terrorist incidents.
While Martyn’s Law does not require organisations to undertake a specific first aid or counter-terrorism qualification, it does emphasise the importance of ensuring staff have the awareness, understanding and practical instruction needed to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
This course provides valuable, practical skills to help individuals respond confidently in the critical moments following a serious incident, potentially helping to save lives when professional emergency services may not yet be on scene.
