What should be in a school first aid kit?

A school first aid kit should hold plasters, sterile dressings, bandages, wipes, disposable gloves, scissors and a foil blanket, scaled to the number of pupils. Many schools also keep instant ice packs, sick bags and an accident book to record incidents. A dedicated paediatric kit is recommended for nurseries and early-years settings.

Do schools and nurseries need a paediatric first aid kit?

Early-years providers in England must follow EYFS requirements, which include having a suitably stocked first aid box and at least one paediatric first aid trained member of staff. A paediatric kit contains components appropriate for treating children.

Why use an accident book in school?

An accident book lets staff record injuries and the first aid given, which supports safeguarding, helps spot patterns and provides a clear record for parents and any insurance or reporting requirements. Our duplicate books keep a copy on file and one to send home.

Do you offer free first aid samples for schools?

Yes. Jax First Aid offers free school samples plus bulk discounts, purchase orders and instant credit for schools, academies, nurseries and multi-academy trusts. Contact our team to arrange samples or a tailored quote.
