Department for Education recommendations![Child doing abdominal thrusts on a child who is choking.](/globalassets/first-aid-steps-illustrations/schools-first-aid-illustrations/choking.jpg)
The Department for Education recommends that pupils at Key Stage 3 should know:
- how and when to deliver CPR
- the concept and use of Automated External Defibrillation (AED).
In addition, we suggest your pupils should also know the concepts of common first aid emergencies, and that they are provided a recap of the first aid skills taught in Key Stage 2.
