Children will have the chance to meet emergency service personnel and the K9 search and rescue unit when an education day rolls into their town
Children from North Down will have the chance to meet emergency service personnel and the K9 search and rescue unit when an education day rolls into town.
“Northern Ireland’s emergency services carry out vital and lifesaving work,” Paul Campbell, Deputy Logistics Manager, at Proparamedics explained. “Working to dispel any anxiety and worry around the emergency services for young children is our mission, alongside ensuring that each child has a basic understanding of First Aid.
Megan Hamill, Proparamedics Training Manager added: “We already travel around local schools conducting First Aid workshops, but we thought having representatives from all of Northern Ireland’s emergency services in one place would help ease children’s worries by allowing them to find out more about the essential work that they carry out on a daily basis.
"We’re delighted to see Proparamedics bringing its ‘Blue Lights Education Day’ to more children in the Newtownards area. As an early year’s centre, we recognise just how important an understanding of First Aid is and the fact that children will be able to meet members of the emergency services will help to alleviate any fears they may have," she said.
