Who needs First Response
We encourage everybody in Scouts to undertake first aid learning.
First Response learning is currently required by volunteers who hold the following roles or accreditations:
- Section Team Members and Section Team Leaders
- Group Lead Volunteers
- 14-24 Team Leaders
- First Response Trainers
- Or those who may be reasonably expected to work directly with young people on a regular basis
The definitive guide to who is required to complete the First Response learning is in POR Chapter 16: Teams table.
First Response learning, is valid for 3 years and must be renewed where the member still holds one of the above roles or accreditations or where a member chooses to complete the learning.
