First Aid Compliance and Reporting

First aid compliance reports and data

Detailed reports identifying those volunteers who are currently ‘non-compliant’ are distributed monthly to County Lead Volunteers and District Lead Volunteers. These reports should be seen as the most accurate available.

Volunteers who have previously held a role that required first aid or have chosen to complete the learning but no longer have a role or requirement to keep this learning up to date will not show on the HQ compliance report. 

First Response is two modules

During the pandemic, we introduced a two-part blended first aid model which separated first aid theory (10a) from first aid practical (10b). This gave added flexibility at a time when face-to-face learning was not possible. 

This model was popular with volunteers and is now one of three available to learners needing to complete their first aid. However, a two-part model does have an impact when it comes to the recording of first-aid learning. My membership’ at scouts.org.uk is designed for single item entry i.e. one module with one completion date, which works fine for the majority of learning records, but for first aid learning to be visible on My membership’, we need the information to be added in a particular way, as described below.

Recording first aid on My membership’ at scouts.org.uk

The accreditation date should always be the date that the individual learning was completed, not the date it’s entered into the membership system.
