For schools, councils and decision-makers

We want first aid education to become a consistent part of school life. Read the school support pledge and register your interest.

Four steps for a clear call

1. Recognise an emergency. Someone is badly hurt, very ill, in danger, or not breathing normally.
2. Call 999 and say which service you need, such as ambulance.
3. Say what happened in simple words, and give your exact location.
4. Listen and follow the call handler’s instructions. Stay on the line until they say you can go.
