In 2024, the Government consulted on several changes to the early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework. The responses were analysed, and many proposed changes were published in the EYFS safeguarding reforms - consultation response*, October 2024.

One of the proposed changes was to the wording of the framework footnote in relation to Paediatric First Aid (PFA) training. The government published their intention to change the wording as follows:

"[Providers/Childminders] are responsible for identifying and selecting a competent training provider to deliver their PFA training. There is no hierarchy in relation to the range of Training Providers who offer Paediatric First Aid training, however those who work under the following bodies are fully regulated: one that is a member of a Trade Body with an approval and monitoring scheme, the Voluntary Aid Societies and those who work under Ofqual Awarding organisations. It may also be helpful to refer to HSE’s guidance about choosing a first aid training provider, which can be found at Selecting a first-aid training provider: A guide for employers - HSE."

The following providers are known to deliver PFA training in Cambridgeshire. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and is updated annually. There are likely to be many other providers not listed below who also offer PFA training. Additionally, Cambridgeshire County Council has not verified the quality of these providers, nor are they endorsed over others. It is strongly recommended that settings, schools and childminders seeking the services of a PFA training provider conduct their research and check reviews and/or recommendations before booking courses.
