For grown-ups

Companion summary

Imagine you are the first person to help a friend who has fallen — what would you do? Knowing basic first aid means you can make a real difference while adults or paramedics are on their way. Putting steady pressure on a cut for ten minutes can stop most bleeding — your calm hands are the best tool. When you finish, try practising the recovery position on a cushion at home so it feels natural in a real moment.

What Would YOU Do?

Imagine you are in the park with a friend. They trip, fall over, and cut their knee. Blood is dripping. They are crying. What do you do first? Do you run away? Shout for help? Try to help them yourself? There is no single wrong answer yet — but by the end of this lesson, you will know exactly what to do.

First Aid: The Basics

is the help you give someone right away when they are hurt or ill, before a doctor or paramedic arrives. You do not need special equipment to do basic first aid — just calm thinking and a few simple steps. **Step 1 — Stay Safe First** Before you help anyone, check that you are safe. If there is danger nearby (like traffic or fire), do not rush in. A hurt helper cannot help anyone. **Step 2 — Call for Help** If someone is seriously hurt, call the . In most countries you dial 999 (UK), 911 (USA), or 112 (Europe and many other countries). Tell them: your location, what happened, and how the person seems. Stay on the line — they will guide you. **Step 3 — Cuts and Bleeding** For a cut or graze: press a clean cloth or bandage firmly on the wound. This is called applying pressure. Keep pressing for several minutes. It helps the blood to clot (go thick and stop flowing). Then cover the wound with a plaster or bandage. **Step 4 — Someone Who Is ** Unconscious means a person is not awake and cannot respond. Tap their shoulder and shout 'Are you okay?' If no response, call emergency services immediately. Tip their head back gently and lift their chin to open the (the passage air travels through). Check if they are breathing — look for their chest rising. If they are breathing, roll them carefully onto their side into the so their airway stays clear. **Step 5 — Burns** Cool a burn straight away by holding it under cool (not icy) running water for at least 10 minutes. Do not use butter, cream, or ice — these make burns worse. Cover with a clean cloth and get adult help. **The Golden Rule: D-R-A-B** Many first aiders use this checklist: - **D** — Danger: is it safe? - **R** — Response: is the person awake? - **A** — Airway: is their airway open? - **B** — Breathing: are they breathing? You are not expected to do everything alone. Your most important job is to get adult help quickly and keep the injured person calm.

Worked example

Scenario: Your little sister burns her hand on a hot pan. 1. Stay calm — panicking makes things worse. 2. Check it is safe — move her away from the hot hob. 3. Cool the burn — hold her hand under cool running water for 10 minutes. 4. Cover it — use a clean cloth or cling film (not cotton wool). 5. Call an adult or dial emergency services if the burn is large or she is in a lot of pain. What NOT to do: do NOT put butter or ice on it — this traps heat and damages the skin more.

Test Your First Aid Knowledge

Try it yourself

Read each question carefully and choose the best answer. Think about what you have just learned before you pick!

1. What does 'first aid' mean?

2. Your friend cuts their arm and it is bleeding. What should you do first?

3. You find someone unconscious. What is the FIRST thing you check?

4. Someone burns their hand. What should you do?

5. Which of these is the correct emergency number in the UK?

What Have You Learned?

First aid is the help you give right away — before a doctor arrives.
Always check for Danger first, then follow D-R-A-B.
For bleeding, press; for burns, cool with running water; for unconsciousness, call for help and open the airway.

1. A classmate falls and is unconscious. You have checked it is safe. What do you do next?

🌱 Reflect

What part of first aid do you feel most confident about? Is there anything that still feels tricky or worrying? Talk about it with an adult at home.
