If you are working in a childcare setting, you might have heard about the HLTAID012 unit and its importance in guaranteeing safety among children. HLTAID012, otherwise known as childcare first aid, is a childcare first aid course relevant to educators and other staff working in childcare and education settings.
Enrolling in this course will teach you the knowledge and skills needed to respond to emergencies in a childcare setting. The childcare first aid course meets the requirements for authorised first aid, asthma, and anaphylaxis training set forth by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority. It is taught by the Australian Resuscitation Council’s (ARC) guidelines (ACECQA).
It teaches students how to recognise illness or injury, contact emergency services, and safely administer first aid using action plans, resources, and equipment. Topics covered include CPR, defibrillation, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, immobilising envenomation victims, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, bleeding & shock management, and much more.
Course Entry Requirements
Participants must be familiar with the fundamentals of computers and have access to a dependable computer with email and an internet connection. Participants must also be able to conduct CPR on an adult and baby resuscitation manikin for at least 2 minutes (5 cycles) to pass the HLTAID009 (CPR) unit’s assessment.
Here are the other essential requirements for enrolling in a childcare first aid course:
Units
On successful completion, participants will be issued with a Statement of Attainment with the following units:
โฆ HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
โฆ HLTAID010 Provide essential emergency life support
โฆ HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
โฆ HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting
Emergency Response
A childcare first aid course will teach you how to react in an emergency. You must know the situation before using your first aid skills. With a childcare first aid course, you will learn how to assist in certain circumstances in a childcare setting, including what to check for in someone who needs aid and how to reduce the risk of damage.
The 3 C’s – Check, Call, and Care – are an approach strategy used in First Aid. People are eager to jump in and offer assistance but often need help figuring out what to do first. Having access to this knowledge could save lives, including your own.
Wound Care
No matter how tiny or enormous, any wound must be adequately cared for. In our childcare first aid course, you will learn how to bandage wounds properly, treat burns and bruises, and care for other face and chest wounds in children (and adults).
Choking Response
Choking can happen to anyone, whether five months old, 15 years old, or 50 years old. Whatever the situation, taking fast action is necessary when food gets caught in our throats, or we experience an allergic reaction. When an adult, child, or infant needs help breathing, you will be able to assist. With your education on assisting patients with asthma and allergies, you will also learn to spot other respiratory emergencies.
