Revised EYFS Guidelines

The revised EYFS was published on 3 March 2017 and will come into force on 3 April 2017.

The revised EYFS includes the new paediatric first aid (PFA) training requirements that were announced in July 2016, including that all newly qualified entrants to the early years workforce with a level 2 or 3 qualification must also have either a full or emergency PFA certificate within 3 months of starting work. This requirement was intended to start in September 2016, but has not been statutory until this point

It remains a legal requirement for at least one person with a valid full 12-hour paediatric first aid certificate to be available at all times within a professional child care establishment. EMT First Aid Training offers this 12-hour course either as a two day course (see 2 day paediatric course details) or as a convenient intensive blended learning option; 6 hours online pre-learning, followed by 6 hours in the classroom on this one day intensive course.

Annex A sets out the criteria for effective PFA training p36.
