Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification of claims and corrections where necessary. I’ve focused on ensuring the information about first aid procedures is current and accurate, and that the contact details are valid as of today (January 26, 2024).

What to do if your child has a nosebleed
Nosebleeds are common in children, and most aren’t serious. Here’s how to help:
-
Sit your child down and lean them slightly forward.
-
Pinch the soft part of the nose (below the bony bridge) for 10-15 minutes continuously. Do not release to check if the bleeding has stopped before 10-15 minutes.
-
Have your child breathe through thier mouth.
-
Do not tilt the head back. This can cause blood to flow down the throat.
Why First Aid training matters – for parents too
While schools are required to have trained staff, experts say parents benefit greatly from formal first aid education.
“Accidents don’t just happen at school. They happen at home,during sports,and on weekends,” says Samuel Bohr,Director of National First Aid Courses.
“A nationally recognised first aid course gives parents the confidence to respond calmly and correctly, wherever they are.”
