I am not sure which country you are from, but I am a preschool teacher from Australia so I will answer from what I know. I did a quick search and the American Red Cross was the most informative, although they did not have anything specific for education centres.\nI have put below what is found in a normal kit, but there are a few items that are not suitable / needed for a school based on Australian policies and regulations. (see the Astrix's and the notes below):\n\nAbsorbent Compresses (2 5"x9" dressings)\nAdhesive Bandages (25 in assorted sizes)\nAdhesive Cloth Tape (10 yards x 1")\nAntibiotic Ointment Packets (5, approximately 1 gram each)*\nAntiseptic Wipes (5 packets)\nAspirin (2 packets, 81mg each)**\nSpace Blanket\nBreathing Barrier (with a one-way valve)\nInstant Cold Compress***\nNon-Latex Gloves (2 pair, size large)\nHydrocortisone Ointment (2 packets, approximately 1 gram each)****\nScissors\n3" Roller Bandage\n4" Roller Bandage\nSterile Gauze (5, 3" x 3" pads)\nSterile Gauze (5, 4" x 4" pads)\nOral Thermometer (Non-Mercury/Non-Glass)*****\nTriangular Bandages (2)\nTweezers\nFirst Aid Instruction Booklet\n\n* Antibiotic ointment is not permitted to be applied to children by staff unless 1. The ointment is labelled by a pharmacist/doctor with the child's name, the dosage amount and dosage times, and 2. Written permission is provided by parent/guardian.\n** Asprin is not suitable. We stock children's panadol and put a clause in the child's enrollment that the parents sign stating that if their child's temperature rises above 30degreesC and they cannot be contacted.\n*** Instant cold compresses are very important. I would suggest investing in several. You need to either invest in re-usable ones and disposable covers (you can use paper towel or nappy liners) or spend lots of money on single use compresses.\n**** Hydrocortisone Ointment is not allowed to be applied without proper paperwork and permission. See first point.\n***** Oral thermometers are much better for children. Do not buy an instant ear thermometer as they are not acurate in children under 10 years.\n\nSorry this is so long, but I hope it helps a little!

What are you looking for?  Are you looking for mandatory courses like H2S, First Aid, Blow Out Prevention, etc?  Or are you wondering about minimum age....which is 18.  You need to be more precise.

ABC, check airway, check breathing, check pulse (circulation). Child 1 breath 5 compressions, adult 2 breaths, 15 FAST compressions. I know it sounds stupid, but practice on a doll, making sure you count as you go and you are pushing fast and hard enough. If you're gonna jump in and help someone great, just make sure you know what you are doing and have it down to a T, so you can remember it under stress.

The basic role of the student, in my opinion, is AWARENESS of what to do during and after disasters. This would lessen panicking, paranoid and uncontrollable people running around. Also, knowing what to do when disaster strikes will also lessen the death toll. Knowing what to do after disaster, and at least basic first aid, will enable students help the authorities in saving lives.

I'm not an expert but I'd guess that you and the other staff would need all the necessary care qualifications and health and safety qualifications. The person running it would probably need some training in management. Your local council would probably give you a grant and some advice. Social Services would give additional funding.\nMy mother ran a private school for disabled children.

This is far too big of a topic for Yahoo Answers but I'll give you my thoughts.  Overall:  Keep It Simple\n\n1.  Activities - there seems to be two situations to prepare for - inside disasters (fire, spills, etc.) and outside disasters (weather, earthquakes, etc.).  You can't cover all the scenarios - especially with primary school children - so it has to be a game "Get Out" and another of "Hide and Quiet".  "Get Out" should involve a game of trying to find the quickest way out of parts of the building.  It should also involve two spots on the school grounds where children should go to.  A staff person should be assigned to each spot to gather the children, tend wounds, take names, etc. "Hide and Quiet" means lights out, shades drawn, door locked, and perhaps, children under desks and tables.  Ideally, several times a year, each game should be practiced.\n\n2.  If staffing permits and it is safe, those staff members not directly working with students should be assigned corridors, stair wells, bleachers and locker rooms, etc. to search and secure.\n\n3.  Accidents in schools range from a hurt knee to destruction of the school by bomb, tornado, etc.  I'd fall back on step 1 options for most cases.\n\nEmergencies by nature are chaotic so keeping things simple is important.\n\nMike Honeycutt
