First Aid Education for Young People, from Year 3 to Year 13

Tomorrows Lifesavers is the New Forest First Aid Training programme that puts first aid into the hands of young people before they need it. It is built as a ladder, so a pupil can start at seven learning to recognise an emergency and leave school at eighteen holding a recognised first aid qualification.

Five life-critical skills are taught at every stage: recognising an emergency, calling 999, hands-only CPR, choking and the recovery position. Nothing is taught once and left behind.

Our Mission

A first aider in every house, starting with the young people who live in it.

Our Mission

At New Forest First Aid Training, our mission is to have a first aider in every house. Tomorrows Lifesavers is how we take that mission into schools: it puts first aid into the hands of young people before they need it, and builds on it year after year so the skills stick. Five life-critical skills are taught at every stage: recognising an emergency, calling 999, hands-only CPR, choking and the recovery position.

The Ladder

Recognise, React, Respond, then qualify. A pupil can start at seven and leave school at eighteen holding a recognised first aid qualification.

The Ladder

TLS: Recognise (Years 3 to 6, ages 7 to 11) covers the five core skills, with allergic reactions and asthma introduced in the Upper session. TLS: React (Years 7 to 9) adds bleeding and wound care, shock, and burns and scalds. TLS: Respond (Years 10 to 11) reintroduces allergic reactions and asthma, adds seizures and fractures, and takes trauma care deeper. Qualify (Years 12 to 13) is the accredited Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, with a certificate valid for three years.

Our Instructors

Our instructors are qualified first aid professionals who know how to make learning engaging and memorable for young people.

Our Instructors

Every Tomorrows Lifesavers session is delivered by a qualified New Forest First Aid Training instructor. They bring real first aid experience into the classroom and adapt each session to the age group in front of them, so pupils stay engaged, ask questions and leave knowing what to do.

TLS: Recognise (Years 3 to 6)

For primary pupils aged 7 to 11, delivered by two trainers.

Lower: 90 minute session
Upper: 160 minute session

Both cover the five core skills: recognising an emergency, calling 999, hands-only CPR, choking and the recovery position. The Upper session also introduces allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, and asthma attacks, because a primary-age child is as likely to see a classmate react as an adult is.

Non-accredited. Attendance is all that is required.

TLS: React (Years 7 to 9)

A 90 minute session for pupils aged 11 to 14.

The five core skills, reinforced
Bleeding and wound care
Shock
Burns and scalds

Non-accredited awareness course.

TLS: Respond (Years 10 to 11)

A 90 minute session for pupils aged 14 to 16, building directly on React rather than repeating it.

The five core skills, reinforced
Allergic reactions and asthma, reintroduced in fuller detail
Seizures
Fractures, sprains and strains
A deeper trauma module: more serious wound management, shock, injury assessment, burns and scalds in more depth, and catastrophic bleeding

Non-accredited awareness course.

Qualify: Emergency First Aid at Work (Years 12 to 13)

For students aged 16 to 18, the top of the ladder is the accredited Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, awarded through Qualsafe or FAIB.

Everything from the earlier rungs, plus AED use, stroke and heart attack recognition (FAST), diabetic emergencies, poisoning, extreme heat and cold, head, neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, and incident recording.

Students leave school holding a recognised first aid certificate, valid for three years, that they can take into employment.

Alongside the ladder: Stem and Float

Two options a school can choose because of what their area actually faces. They sit alongside the rung for a pupil’s year group rather than replacing it.

TLS: Stem (Years 10 to 11): catastrophic bleeding and major trauma in depth, including direct pressure, wound packing and tourniquet application, taught in smaller groups. Stem is a bleeding control life skill and is never delivered as knife crime education.
TLS: Float (Years 7 to 11): water safety in depth, covering danger at the water’s edge, cold water shock and what to do when someone is in trouble. Aligned to the national Float to Live message, and popular with schools near the coast, rivers and gravel pits.

How a delivery day works

Every school is different, so we build each delivery day around yours. Session lengths, group sizes and timings are agreed with you in advance to fit your timetable and the year groups taking part, wherever possible.

Emergency First Aid at Work is run at the accredited ratios and quoted per cohort.

We come to your school, so pupils learn in a setting they know.
