§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what training Royal Ulster Constabulary uniformed personnel receive in administering first aid to injured persons. [94429]
§ Mr. IngramNew recruits attend a three day First Aid course equivalent to those run by the St. John's Ambulance and Red Cross. Officers are expected to maintain a tri-annual revalidation by attending a one day Emergency Aid course. Specialist units e.g. Traffic Branch and Community Affairs attend two day scenario-based courses specific to their needs. In addition, police and civilian support staff may volunteer for a four day 'First Aid at Work' course made available under Health and Safety legislation.
