Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 2 National Values Education, part of our Social Studies curriculum.

Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify three ways of caring for accident victims.
Caring For Accident Victims
Accidents can happen anywhere, even at school or home. It’s important to know how to help someone who has been hurt. There are several ways to care for accident victims, and some of them include:
- Stay Calm: When someone is hurt, it’s important to stay calm. This will help the victim feel safe and reassured.
- Check for Danger: Before you help someone, make sure the area is safe. If there is anything that could cause further harm, remove it.
- Call for Help: If the accident is serious, call for help immediately. This could be a teacher, an adult, or emergency services.
- Apply Basic First Aid: If you know how to do basic first aid, you can help the victim by cleaning and covering any wounds.
- Comfort and Reassure: Even if you can’t do much else, you can comfort the victim by talking to them and reassuring them that help is on the way.
- Keep Warm: If the victim is cold, try to keep them warm by covering them with a blanket or jacket.
- Do Not Move Unnecessarily: Unless the victim is in immediate danger, do not move them. Moving a victim could make their injuries worse.
