More than 1 million children under the age of 15 experience accidents in and around the home each year. Would you know what to do if your child was injured? A First Aid course could make all the difference…….. Now you can address your fear of not knowing what to do.

CHILD MATTERS has been set up to deliver Basic Life Support, First Aid and Paediatric Training courses for Parents, Carers and Child Care Providers. Bringing specialist professionals to your home, workplace or even public venues at a time that is convenient for you.

"Without a doubt people don't know enough. Acting decisively and knowledgably could save a child's life" says Claire founder of Child Matters.

For Parents and Carers

For Parents, Nannies, Grandparents, Babysitters, Older Children & Au Pairs, Child Matters delivers classes that can be tailored to fit your needs, on a one-to-one or group basis.

Child Matters philosophy is for “Panic Free Parenting”. Basic Life Support and First Aid, along with basic baby and child health knowledge, are fundamental skills that can be easily learned. Child Matters classes are taught exclusively by paediatric health professionals, nurses, health visitors and midwives. This enables us to draw on practical knowledge and experience of dealing with situations with children helping to motivate and inspire you.
