Since first being involved in the First Aid Industry in 1996 I felt that it needed to change and move forward in terms of monitoring systems and consistency of standards and I felt, the only way for this to happen was to work very closely with the Training Organisations. This is something that I have always strived to achieve in the past and will continue to do so with the FOFATO. My vision some 25 years ago was to see a First Aid Industry that was working to the highest possible standards of First Aid training but perhaps more importantly to me was to enable every Training Provider, irrespective of size, to be able to compete for business on a Level Playing Field. Consequently I did not want to see an Industry that was monopolised by a few larger Training Providers because in my view  that would not be healthy for the Industry. 

FOFATO represents First Aid Training Organisations which in turn creates an Organisation that is democratic, has a pwoerful voice, offers high standards of Training and can bring the Industry together in order to achieve its full and true potential.

My knowledge and expertise within the First Aid Industry means that I am able to guide Training Organisations in the right direction in order the achieve the required results.

Furthermore as a direct consequence of the way that HSE have handled the outcome of the Lofstedt Review (in relation to First Aid) it is vital that clear, concise and impartial information is given to both training organisations and employers.
