We’ve launched a fun and educational campaign for youngsters called ‘Little Lifesavers’ to teach children about the ambulance service.
This campaign encourages young children to become a ‘Little Lifesaver’ by learning lifesaving skills such as, how to make an emergency 999 call, what kind of situation is an emergency, how to perform CPR and how to place someone in the recovery position as well as a virtual tour of an ambulance. Little Lifesavers features videos from ambulance staff and a fun activity book.
Making a 999 call can be a high pressured and stressful situation for many of us, but it is particularly important that children know how to make one, in addition knowing what kind of situation warrants a call to the emergency services. The Little Lifesavers campaign includes a video from some of our call assessors running through how a call might sound.
The virtual tour of an ambulance will allow children to ‘jump on board’ with a paramedic and learn about the equipment kept on board and how it is used.
