In educational settings, like with any setting, having an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can be the difference between life and death.

AEDs are also called defibrillators or Public Access Defibrillators (PADs).<\/p>\n<p>Both teachers and pupils can benefit from an AED, and specialist paediatric AEDs are available to provide the best possible care for children under the age of eight or weighing less than 25kg.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Schools Have Defibrillators?<\/h2>\n<p>As it currently stands, <strong>most places of education will have at least one AED<\/strong>, depending on the size of the school.<\/p>\n<p>Infant or junior schools, who have younger pupils, will commonly have different AEDs that are suited for adults and for those under the age of eight.

Schools may commonly have AEDs for use by pupils and staff only, along with publicly accessible ones. Schools are often centrally located in the community and having a Public Access Defibrillator located at a school enables local communities to be equipped in case of cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone, at any age. Both early CPR and defibrillation increase a person\u2019s chance of survival. By having an AED in your school, along with the required CPR training that both staff and secondary school pupils have, can ensure that the survival rate of SCA increases.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-567904036 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 5% 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-567904036 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-567904036 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 20% 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-159669637\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1017872867\" class=\"col medium-10 small-12 large-10\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2>Where Are Defibrillators Located in Schools?<\/h2>\n<p>Most schools, depending on the size, will often place defibrillators at reception areas or welcome areas, to make them easily accessible to all.

These reduce the shock level sent to the child. Paediatric electrodes can be used on children between the ages of one and eight, or under 25kg in weight. You cannot use an AED on a baby under the age of one.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Defibrillator Training Compulsory for Schools?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/843393\/AED_guide_for_schools_Sept2019_v2_accessible.pdf\">According to the government,<\/a> \u201c<em>It should therefore be sufficient for schools to circulate the manufacturer\u2019s (<\/em>of the AEDs<em>) instructions to all staff and to provide a short general awareness briefing session in order to meet their statutory obligations<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>AEDs are designed to be used by an untrained person responding to an emergency and so you should not need specialist training to use one.
