In a series of fun and exciting challenges, Fire Cadets from each team will test their knowledge and skills in the areas of scene safety, casualty care, communication and delegation of roles.

Each team will be made up of three Cadet casualty carers, aged between 16 and 18 years, who will test themselves against realistic first aid scenarios. Like all other UKRO challenges, each one will involve ‘live’ casualties (using professional actors).

The challenge consists of two scenarios. One is a standard scenario involving a single casualty and the other is a complex scenario involving two casualties.

The challenge is a fantastic opportunity for Cadets to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in casualty care, and for them to develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills in a realistic training environment.

Find out more about the challenge, including objectives, benchmarks, health and safety and more in our challenge programme.

A score sheet, which will be used by UKRO assessors, is also available.
