FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should a school first aid kit contain?
While the Department for Education doesn't have a specific checklist for school first aid kits, it is generally recommended to follow the HSE guidance for the minimum supplies. So, this would include items such as gloves, plasters, eye dressings, triangular bandages, dressings, safety pins and wipes. When looking at your risk assessment it may also be wise for certain areas of the schools to also have eye wash kits and burns kits. For more information, see our blog on School
