How accessible should first aid box be for children

[clorogue]

Where should the first aid box be kept - high in a cupboard or much more accessible?

Thanks!

Not sure on the official guidance but i have mine on a shelf out of reach of the children but if i needed it in an emergancy and couldn't get myself then one of the children could just stand on a chair and get it for me.

It needs to be out of reach of children but plainly labelled so its easily obtainable when needed.

Mines in a draw the children can reach, I was told it had to be somewhere they could reach incase I needed them to get it in an emergancy

Mines on my kitchen side,behaind the stairgate so the littlies cant reach but the big ones can if I need them to fetch it for me

mine is in the set of draws with all the toys (i have quite a few sets all in my dinning room)on my first aid course last year they said i should be in reach of all chuildren and they should be tought to use some of it which i think is a great idea cause if you can't do it caus it is yuot hat needs help or you are helping the injured they can help to children as young as 3 can follow simple instructunion and call 999

mine is in the bottom drawer in the kitchen, at the back. all my older ones know where it is, and can easily get it if i need them too. but its not obvious for the little ones to find and get out!
