World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10th within Mental Health Awareness Month. The aim is to promote mental health advocacy and to educate the public on relevant issues.

This year's theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is 'Mental Health in an Unequal World'.

Schools have a responsibility to protect the health, well-being, and safety of all children under their care.

Whether you work with children in a nursery setting or teach in a school, paediatric first aid knowledge is essential in providing you with confidence in responding to an emergency situation if one were to arise.

Children are generally more prone to accidents than adults. It is necessary for teachers to have some first aid knowledge.
