## Programme

  What can you do if someone needs help? Through explanation and role play, children learn about different situations and the role of a helper.

- 

### Discussing situations

      The instructor explains what is needed in different situations.

- 

### Hands-on practice

      Children take turns being the helper and the casualty.

- 

### Preventing accidents

      There is also a focus on recognising and preventing accidents.

  The course is delivered by a certified instructor from a local first aid association. Where possible, a LOTUS casualty simulator (a trained mock victim) takes part in a lesson.
