First aid kit

[Woody girl]

My guess is that you are going to need two risk analyses:
1. How many employees/ volunteers doing what?
2. How large is the envisaged congregation and doing what? What activities shall the space be used for?

It’s quite a specialist assessment but then the diocese has probably got it all worked out already. Ask them.

I have no idea what denomination is your church but CoE most certainly is all over this one. (Well it was decades ago when I was a Christian so it must be these days)

Once you know what should be in there you can look around for supplies within your budget.

Does your church have first aiders?

Is there a defibrillator anywhere nearby?

We are Chapel, very small congregation at the moment, but we have an amazing history, the church was built by the chap who started up the ymca..(. all together now! And don't forget the arm action!)
We have a lot of plans to involve schools and other members of the public with the history of this unimposing, but beautiful building in the future.
We used to have a toddler group and coffee mornings, as we have a large hall attached, and also hope to be a venue for musical, and literary performance Only 8 of us at present, but we have big plans.it will take some work for sure. We have two first aiders, of which I'm one. I'm also in charge of the garden and kitchen, and will also be doing history guide in the future. ...lots of work there , so we need a kit to cover all that , which we'd buy once, and refill every expiry, rather than buy new each time.
I know there are several firms out there, I just wondered if anyone could, from experience, recommend a cheapish, but comprehensive kit. There are so many out there, I can't decide which is the best one to get.
I'm leaning towards the St John's kit, which seems good enough for now, but I realy wanted a wall mountable one so it won't go missing like the last one, and can cater for more.( up to 30) in the future.

On the wall is an absolute must! Maybe in two places when you can afford it. You don’t ever want to have to look for the kit.

St John’s with a double up in the plasters will do for what you’ve described.

Good idea, I'll put a smaller one withsome extra burn dressings in the kitchen, and a larger one in the hall.
Just realised my faaw qual will need renewal this summer, so that's another thing to do.
I also need to do a hygiene certificate, for the kitchen, so I'm gonna be a busy bunny this year.

Janet says they use ACRE for advice.

Accident book. (Not for acts of God!)

Guess whose wife is chair of the Village Hall Committee.

Oh an accident book! Off to get one today. Never thought of that. Good call...plus a pen.
Amazing that grown men and women have to be told what rules to abide by if you get a little cut, rather than abide by common sense. Oh well.
I'm sure it won't be long before acts of god are recorded in the accident book and he is sued for his misdeeds!
