we are a residential school for 9-16 year olds and are about to undertake the annual school camp. to ensure this runs sucessfully we need to ensure all of the staff involved are fully up to date with current medication administering legislation etc. we are, as yet, unsure of numbers- but no more than 10 (I am guessing)

our camp commences on monday 21st April, so therefor we need the training ASAP. our available dates are as follows

monday 7th April, wednesday 9th April, thursday 10th arpil, tuesday 15th april, wednesday 16th april or thursday 17th april.

can you supply training for us on any of the above dates? we are based in lancashire, post code LA6 2HE. many thanks

Helen
