Bumps To Babies

This workshop has been designed to support you to develop your skills in saving your baby’s life. The workshop is suitable for learners with little experience or knowledge. Most learners will not have any previous knowledge of the subject taught, but this is not always the case and the tutor will adapt the learning activities to suit all abilities and needs after meeting you all.

This short course will support you to understand basic 1st Aid skills to save you baby’s life including: • What to do in an emergency • Recovery position • CPR • Choking.

When you enrol on your course, you will be given details of how to join our secure Google Classroom, how to use Google Meets and your tutor will email you about starting your course. You are assessed in class by the tutor and by your own self- assessment of topics. You will be given an online RARPAP/diary on which you and the tutor will be able to chart your progress each week. Your tutor will give you feedback and suggest ways in which you can develop and help your child’s learning. You will be given a small number of home-time tasks, linked to helping your child and to support other areas of learning you have identified. So that you can be successful in completing the course we do require that you arrive promptly for each lesson, and that you try not to miss any (you need to agree to attend at least 80% of the lessons).

There are no formal entry requirements for Family Learning courses. All Family Learning courses are free to learners. Please check for creche availability at your child’s school/venue where the course will be taking place.
