St John Ambulance And The Chokeables
There is currently a campaign #thechokeables which is aimed at raising awareness with St John Ambulance and The Chokeables, around the risks of children choking and how to help a choking child. St John Ambulance believe that everyone should have the skill and also the confidence to know what to do in an emergency.
I am sure that all of us parents share the same fear of our child choking – St John Ambulance have found that over 40% have witnessed their child choke and when quizzed on their first aid it was found that almost four-fifths didn’t know what to do in this situation which is pretty scary.
To help raise awareness St John Ambulance have made a short animation movie The Chokeables, this animated film features the voices of:
David Walliams
David Mitchell
Johnny Vegas
Sir John Hurt
St. John’s ambulance are asking for us all to share the film online to all help each other to possibly learn how to save a life. In The Chokeables the celebrities take on the characters of animated objects that could potentially choke a child: a small princess toy, a pen lid, a jelly baby and a peanut. They’ve joined together because they’ve had enough and want to show how easy it is to save a choking child.
Do you have 40 seconds to learn how to save a choking child, this video could make a big difference.

02/10/2015So true, I think a basic level of first aid should be taught right from a young age not only so we can look after over selves better but those around us too. Particularly young children, where we need to be a lot more catious!

03/10/2015Such a great and important campaign/giveaway! Must admit that I don’t think I’d know how to stop a child choking without the video.
