Question 1

What protection do first aiders have if something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

UK courts generally judge actions against what a reasonable person with similar training would have done, not against hospital standards, and there is broad support for Good Samaritan actions taken in good faith. Employers should also have liability insurance and clear policies so designated first aiders are not left personally exposed when they follow training and procedure.
