ELCs and charity partner for first aid training

JENNY’S Early Learning Centre staff and charity The Sisterhood Project have partnered to deliver first aid training for parents and carers in the Ballarat region.

Early learning educators will be trained by PAEDS Education and other accredited first aid providers with support from The Sisterhood Project’s officers.

“This is our first official partnership at The Sisterhood Project, and we’re incredibly excited to create this sustainable model,” paediatric intensive care nurse and The Sisterhood Project co-founder Grace Larson said. “This partnership not only ensures Jenny’s ELC educators receive essential training but also directly benefits the families they serve by providing access to potentially life-saving skills.”

Jenny’s ELC facilities operate across Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong, and proceeds from the partnership will go to infant and child first aid training for parents and carers.

“We are incredibly supportive of our parents and carers having access to this vital training,” Jenny’s ELC marketing manage Jess Hourigan said.

“This initiative will ensure a continuity of understanding around health literacy and first aid, ultimately having a significant impact on child safety and the prevention of accidents and injuries.”

The Sisterhood Project aims to prevent and reduce childhood deaths in emergencies, from illnesses, accidents, injuries, and conditions like respiratory diseases.
