Emergencies happen. On ordinary days, life can change in the beat of a heartbeat, and school staff can find themselves in a life threatening emergency.
Schools have an obligation to ensure that their team are able to manage a first aid emergency, such as an accident or sudden case of illness – both for the children and staff.
Whether it’s the old ‘wet paper towel’ trick, a bit of TLC, or recognition of serious conditions such as Asthma or Anaphylaxis – school staff should be confident and understand their responsibilities.

Safeguarding Group B
Group B practitioners are those who spend time with people in a group setting or on a one-to-one basis. They will have a particular responsibility in relation to the people they work with and will need a higher level of knowledge than those in group A because of their direct involvement with people. The people they work with may or may not have safeguarding concerns.
If there are safeguarding concerns, there will be a clear line of reporting in the organisation and the practitioner will be aware of their responsibility to report concerns, both internally and to social services directly.
These practitioners won’t have a statutory role in relation to the safeguarding process and wouldn’t sit on core groups or be part of protection planning. They wouldn’t be expected to give safeguarding advice to others.
When looking at the standards across the groups, it may look as if they are repeated, however, practitioners in different groups will need to have more detailed knowledge and understanding because of the responsibilities they have.
Therefore, the training provided for each group will explore the same topics in more depth. The training, learning and development framework will help to illustrate this.
The practitioners in group B will have more responsibility for safeguarding therefore the standards for group B practitioners are set so that the training helps them develop a greater understanding of safeguarding matters. For example, group B practitioners will need to show that they understand the law and put it into practice throughout their day-to-day work.
let us help you wwith this half day workshop to ensure your team meet current Social Care Wales legislation.
A link to complete Group A will be provided on booking to complete via eLearning before the workshop takes place.
