Draycott Sports Camp is partnered with first aid trainer, John Collett to deliver first aid to children and adults across Swindon and the surrounding areas. DSC Safe was launched in March 2018, with the incentive to introduce first aid into schools and workforces, enabling children and adults to become 'a hero for life'.  As well as empowering adults with the confidence to respond in an emergency, extending first aid training to children teaches them to care for others, equipping them with skills to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. We have already successfully trained over 1500 children across North Swindon through our Sports Camps and in local schools, and have provided Emergency First Aid at Work training to adults in the professional industry.

​

We have led sessions in:

Oakhurst Primary School

Bridlewood Primary School

Orchid Vale Primary School

Red Oaks Primary School

St Joseph's Catholic College

​

We are able to provide you with accredited training, and can tailor packages to suit your needs. Our first aid package for children includes teaching the following skills:

• CPR 

• Choking

• The Recovery Position

• Making an Emergency Call

​

​

Our first aid packages for adults are as listed below:
