A practical, engaging first aid programme that helps you teach first aid with confidence, without adding to staff workload.
Mini Heroes is a ready-to-use first aid programme designed for primary schools, early years settings and children’s groups.
It helps children learn how to help – calmly, safely and without fear.
The story behind Mini Heroes
Primary schools have been required to teach first aid since 2020.
But here’s the reality…
Teachers aren’t first aid experts.
They worry about teaching it wrong.
They’re stretched, short on time, and overloaded with planning.
And while free resources exist, most are:
- Light on practical skills
- Hard to turn into real lessons
- And still add to teacher workload
Mini Heroes was created to change that.
Built by experienced educators and first aid professionals, Mini Heroes gives schools a ready to deliver, confidence-boosting way to teach first aid properly while giving children the skills to help others when it matters.
Mini Heroes is press-play simple — your presentations are ready to go, the questioning is built into the slides (with answers), and expert demonstrations are included, so staff can deliver sessions confidently even if they’re not first aid experts.
What is Mini Heroes?
Mini Heroes is a complete first aid curriculum for children aged 4–11, covering:
- EYFS (ages 3–5): Helping others & calling for help
- Key Stage 1 (ages 5–7): Safety awareness & emergency calls
- Key Stage 2 (ages 7–11):
- All DfE statutory requirements
