Welcome to the Young Lifesaver Scheme

The new, revised Young Lifesaver Scheme (YLS) is extremely flexible and provides you the opportunity to teach First Aid to children between the ages of 7-16.

7-11 year olds are eligible for the Junior Lifesaver Award and the Senior Lifesaver Award is then eligible to children aged between 11-16.

The scheme has been specifically designed to be taught to Schools and Youth Groups in both Welsh and English.

The Teaching Guides we provide supplies all the information required to direct pupils through the course which covers the following topics:

Primary Survey  Recovery Position  Choking  Asthma  Wounds, Bleeding & Shock

Fractures Burns & Scalds Poisoning Heart Attacks Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

By teaching the YLS you are providing critical lifesaving skills to children and young adults. These skills combined with learning to work in a team, decision making as well as personal and social responsibility all ultimately increase confidence and general citizenship.
