Sample section, Module 5
Your first fifteen minutes
Everything in Part Two applies to all school staff. This module is the part written for the way you actually work: a school you do not know, a class you have not met, and one day to get it right.
Ask these seven questions before the children come in. If the school cannot answer them, that is itself worth reporting back to your agency.
- Which children in my class have an allergy, and what is each one allergic to?
- Where are the spare adrenaline devices kept?
- Can I get to them, or have them brought to me, within five minutes from this room?
- Does any child in this class carry their own device, and where is it right now?
- May I see their Allergy Action Plan or Individual Healthcare Plan?
- Who is the named senior leader for allergy safety, and who are today’s first aiders?
- How do I call for help from this room without leaving the children?
Sample assessment questions
How the assessment works
All 53 questions must be answered correctly. Get one wrong and you are told why, and you try again. There is no limit on attempts.
Sample question 1
You arrive for a one day placement in Year 2. Before the children come in, what should you establish?
- Nothing. The class teacher’s planning will say if there is an allergy.
- Which children have allergies, where the devices are, and how to get help.
- Only the fire evacuation route, because allergy is the first aider’s responsibility.
- Whether the school has a nut free policy.
Show the answer
Which children have allergies, where the devices are, and how to get help.
Two minutes at the start of the day is what turns a policy into protection. A one day placement gives you no time to catch up later, so you need the names, the location of the adrenaline devices and the route to help before the children arrive.
Sample question 2
A pupil is having anaphylaxis in the dining hall. The spare devices are two corridors away. What is correct?
- Walk them quickly to where the devices are kept.
- Sit them on a chair and send a pupil to fetch help.
- Lay them flat with their legs raised and have the devices brought to them.
- Stand them up, as being upright will help their breathing.
Show the answer
Lay them flat with their legs raised and have the devices brought to them.
Standing or sitting a child up during anaphylaxis can cause a sudden and sometimes fatal drop in blood pressure. Keep them flat, raise the legs, and send someone to bring the adrenaline to the child.
