Would anyone be able to point me at the ACP and chapter which details staff first aid requirements please?
Basically two questions:
Does a staff member need a current first aid certificte just to attend Sqn parade nights? If so which? [and does this apply to over 18 Cadets too?]
Does a staff member need a first aid qualifiction to assist wirh AT, specifically Nijmegen marches as a staff member in a team alongside four other staff [first aid qualified] and some Cadets [he or she is not leading the team] ? If so which? [and does this apply to over 18 Cadets too?]
All staff need to hold a minimum of Heartstart Qualifications to maintain currency as CFAV.
I believe the question around O18 cadets has been asked, but as First Aid is a core activity itâs highly likely that cadets will hold some level of First Aid.
But the search should be better shouldnât it? Either TG21/23 forms or accts4 are listed incorrectly in the index, so that when you search for the name in the index, it falls over and finally reveals the correct document pages and pages later!
I would probably point out that using the search to find documents that are in the key documents area which is clearly marked and easily accessible is probably slower than just browsing where you want to go anyway.
Theyâre doing their best to make it as simple as possible.
You should be able to put in this case ACTO 008 and in the first two listed should be ACTO 008 and not umpteen emails, letters etc etc that someone has put within sharepoint.
I donât think that using the key documents is the answer really, you should be able to search for a file using a partial term and within the limited ATC world get the result easily.
Oh yes please. At least with the paper updates there wasnât constant tinkering and fiddling with things every other by people looking to ensure a job.
Anyway, panic over, CI in question now CAN go to Nijmegen Marches without AFA.
I still havenât found the various first Air requirements for running different events. Anyone? Is there a list?
Thank you all so far.
Yes, I do search for a document. If I want accts4 I search for it. I have found the drop down box (almost impossible to hit with my fat finger in my phone) but even then⌠Is it camps, is it travel, is it forms??
the expectation is EVERY CFAV has a first aid âqualificationâ be this FAAW, Expedition First Aid, or simple HeartstartâŚ
the specifics for each event are almost case by case.
the RAFAC expects all AT quals to be matched with a suitable first aid qual (FAAW and/or expedition)
while an annual camp could have 7x staff all with heartstart.
AT is the only event/activity i know that requires a predetermined first aid qualification that is more than HeartstartâŚfor everything else we do the expectation that everyone is Heartstart trained is sufficient.
(i donât even think Shooting, which requires a dedicated âfirst aiderâ specifically indicates what the minimum requirement is - it is based on your RAM being approved by the WgShootOff or other who decides if your first aid cover is sufficient > in all honesty with shooting it is either going to be minor injury (grazed knee/elbow following a trip, or it is going to be a major incident so either well within the realms of a sticking plaster or well outside anyoneâs first aid qualification where 999 is the only option)
Cadet Training - Ranges specifies the minimum First Aid qualification required⌠in addition, Range Orders could specify a higher requirement if the range is remote from help etc.
Also fieldcraft (unless solely on Sqn).
Deployed exercises need AFTIs in ratio 1:10 (day) 1:8 (night). AFTI qual canât be exercised unless you have AFA (or higher) ergo Fieldcraft needs AFA!
