Why is Stop the Bleed crucial to the UK Rail industry?
Thirty young people and 40 rail professionals from across Nottingham have taken part in life-saving Stop The Bleed Training as part of the Railway Children Robin Hood Line Safeguarding Action Group.
The specialised training provided by Queens Medical Centre Major Trauma Team, is the only training of its type to be provided in the UK and could help to save a life.
Members of the Safeguarding Action Group, including East Midlands Railway, West Midlands Trains, London North Western Railway, Amulet and many more are now equipped with the skills they may unexpectedly need in their roles.
Safeguarding in action
Railway Children support vulnerable children and young people found around the transport networks within the UK, India and Tanzania.
In the UK, we have nine Safeguarding Action Groups set up around the country that bring together rail companies, police and security services, local businesses and communities with the aim of making rail stations and networks safer for vulnerable young people.
In the East Midlands our Robin Hood Line Safeguarding Action Group, which was established in 2023, works specifically with East Midlands Railway to focus on safeguarding from Nottingham to Worksop via Mansfield.
Karl Buckton-Nicholas, travel Safe Officer from Amulet said:
“I’m confident that with today’s raining I now have the skills that may help to save someone’s life”.
