What are the legal considerations in giving first aid?

The First Aider / First responder is covered by the 'Good Samaritans Law'.This law states: A first responder must not attempt to do anything they are not qualified to do. It is perfectly acceptable for a first aider to do all they can to support and to sustain life and to prevent further injury.A first aider is not protected legally if they act irresponsibly, inappropriately or negligently - i.e. they fail to do what any reasonable person would do with similar training / qualifications under similar circumstances.Consent must be obtained from the victim if conscious before first aid can be administered. If the victim is a child, mentally handicapped or unconscious and is unable to give consent, then a parent, guardian or responsible family member must consent before first aid can be administered. If none con be obtained then first aid can be administered under 'implied consent'.
