Assessing the Need For an Ambulance

Children need to know what to do in an emergency. They also need to know when they need to call an ambulance if they see an accident or a medical issue. Calling 999 should be reserved for real emergencies and some issues can be helped by other professionals without the need to call 999. This lesson explores different scenarios and encourages the children to decide whether they need to call 999 or not.

Use this lesson plan to support the lesson and access the linked resources to effectively deliver the lesson. The PowerPoint and worksheets encourage discussion among the class about how to call 999 and when it is necessary.
