First Aid Skills for Real-Life Situations

First aid training should leave people feeling capable, not overwhelmed. JPF First Aid combines straightforward explanations with practical activities, giving learners the opportunity to understand, practise and remember potentially life-saving skills.

Founder and lead trainer John Fogarty has worked in training since 2005. He holds teaching and assessor qualifications and has previously delivered workplace, school and public training for two first aid charities. This experience helps him adapt each session to the audience, whether he is supporting a workplace team, a class of pupils or someone attending their first course.

First Aid Courses for Schools and Community Groups

JPF First Aid also works with primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form students across Lichfield.

For younger children, ECHO the First Aid Frog provides a memorable way to introduce important emergency steps. Training can also be arranged for sports clubs, churches and other community groups that want practical, relevant first aid knowledge.

Customer feedback frequently highlights John’s knowledge, patience and approachable delivery style. Learners describe the courses as informative, interactive and enjoyable, with plenty of practical guidance. Most importantly, delegates leave with greater confidence in their ability to act when help is needed.

First Aid for Mental Health Training: Building Healthier Workplaces

Mental wellbeing deserves the same care and attention as physical health. JPF First Aid provides nationally recognised, Ofqual-regulated First Aid for Mental Health qualifications, helping people spot possible signs of poor mental health, approach sensitive conversations and offer suitable initial support.

Why Mental Health Belongs in First Aid Planning

In 2024, the Health and Safety Executive updated its guidance, highlighting that employers should consider the mental health needs of their workforce when completing a first aid needs assessment.

Mental health first aid training isn’t a legal requirement for every organisation. However, having appropriately trained people in place can help businesses respond more effectively, encourage earlier conversations and build a workplace culture where employees feel supported.

Recognised Mental Health Qualifications

JPF First Aid offers three levels of training:

• Level 1: Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health

• Level 2: First Aid for Mental Health

• Level 3: Supervising First Aid for Mental Health

Courses can be completed through face-to-face training or live online sessions using Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Supported self-study is also available for the Level 2 qualification, offering greater flexibility for busy learners and workplaces.

These courses go beyond simple attendance-based training. Successful learners gain a nationally recognised qualification that demonstrates their knowledge, understanding and ability to provide appropriate initial support.

Whether training a small team, a larger workforce or staff within an educational setting, JPF First Aid offers flexible mental health first aid training in Lichfield to meet a variety of organisational needs.
