Home > FAQs > Administering AAIs and performing First Aid are not part of the job description for staff.  How can I reassure them that it is ok to do this in an emergency situation?

Staff do not need to be qualified first aiders to administer an AAI to a child in a medical emergency. 

Whether a first aider or not, if you work in an education setting you should familiarise yourself with how to safely administer an AAI, as this knowledge can save lives.

Instruction sheets for Jext and EpiPen AAIs can be found here: https://www.allergyschool.org.uk/resources/responding-to-an-allergy-emergency/
