Who needs to be First Aid certified and why? Some venue operators ensure their on-site staff are certified to administer First Aid. Registered netball organisations are responsible for liaising with their venue provider to familiarise themselves with the venue’s Health and Safety policies and procedures, and to ascertain whether First Aid provision is in place during their scheduled activities as part of their organisation’s overall risk management. As emergency First Aid provision is a mandatory requirement to comply with England Netball’s Netball’s minimum operating standards (available here: https://www.englandnetball.co.uk/insurance/authorised-netball-activities/ , if ). If the venue operator does not provide a designated First Aider, the registered netball organisation must fulfil this duty of care for its participants. |

Duty of Care It’s worth noting that all players, coaches, officials, facility operators and competition organisers have a shared duty to participate in environments that are as safe as practically possible for everyone involved. This duty is referred to, in the eyes of the law, as the ‘Duty of Care’. Learn more here: https://help.centre.englandnetball.co.uk/wiki/x/IwBfGg . |

Netball Coaches England Netball regards First Aid as an essential skill for netball coaches. As such, First Aid training is a mandatory pre-requisite for netball coaches entering England Netball’s learning and development pathway at Level 2 or above. However, qualified coaches are responsible for maintaining their level of competency in this area. For that reason, a registered netball organisation must never make assumptions about a coach’s certification status. If in doubt, ask the coach for a copy of their First Aid certificate and check that it is in date. Refresher certificates must accompany original certification. |
