WITH COURAGE, CONFIDENCE AND COMPASSION
Forest School First Aid training in London is designed specifically for outdoor educators, practitioners, and leaders who need to manage medical emergencies where emergency services might face delayed access—even within the capital’s urban woodlands, parks, and green spaces.
Unlike a standard workplace first aid course, Forest School First Aid is uniquely contextualised. It balances the specific physiological needs of children with the distinct environmental challenges of managing a casualty on wet, cold, or uneven outdoor terrain.
