April training opens for children in CPR and AED use

Kilcullen Community First Responders have opened registrations for their April CPR and AED training sessions for children aged eight and over, writes Brian Byrne. A previously scheduled course is already fully booked, and organisers say they are looking forward to welcoming the young participants and teaching them vital lifesaving skills. 

The training aims to give children the confidence to act in an emergency, including knowing how to call emergency services, stay as calm as possible, and raise the alarm and shout for help. Parents wishing to book a place for their child are invited to email kilcullenfirstresponders@gmail.com. 

The group encourages families to consider whether their children would know what to do if something happened at home and states that this training can help prepare them for such situations.
