First Response
Anyone holding a wood badge role needs to hold a current First Response certificate or equivalent. If you run adventurous activities and need a 2 day course, please email us
We run the six hour first response which comprises two elements:
- Module 10A – First Aid theory which covers the first aid theory. This can be run face to face or online.
- Module 10B – First Aid practical is a short 15 minute session covering assessment of a casualty and CPR. This is run face t face only.

Using external First Aid training
Any external first aid course that is delivered by a regulated First Aid training provider can be considered as a suitable alternative to First Response.
All certificates must be reviewed by a county First Aid trainer to check it covered the full First Response syllabus. If the external certificate did not cover an element of the syllabus (for example adult or child CPR or adult and childhood illnesses) volunteers may be asked to complete an e-learning course and/or attend a short (30 minute) CPR practical session.
Please email a copy of your certificate, along with a course syllabus (if available) to [email protected]
