ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Under the current legislation, all schools must have staff trained in first aid, which generally includes how to perform CPR, use an AED and apply basic first aid skills.
For other members of staff who would benefit from training, practical training is considered best practice.
While the school board is responsible for assessing the circumstances and risks arising from their work and deciding what is appropriate, the Ministry of Education highly recommends having CPR-trained staff and possessing AEDs.
