About Us
At Family First Aid, we’re more than just trainers — we’re parents who understand the chaos, challenges, and joys of family life. As the proud parents of eight boys, we’ve seen more than our fair share of scraped knees, split lips, unexpected injuries, and the occasional medical emergency. These experiences have given us firsthand insight into the importance of knowing what to do in those critical moments.
With a strong background in H & S and learning and development, we’ve combined our expertise to create a first aid training programme tailored specifically for families. Our mission is simple: to make essential first aid skills accessible, practical, and easy to learn for parents, caregivers, and anyone responsible for the safety of others.
We know that emergencies don’t come with a warning, but preparation can make all the difference. That’s why our courses are designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to act decisively, whether you’re treating a minor scrape or managing a life-threatening situation.
At Family First Aid, we’re committed to helping families build safer homes, stronger communities, and brighter futures — one first aid skill at a time.
