CNI Network, working with partner organisations, have developed a wide range of modules to help raise awareness of needs we may encounter within our work on the frontline. These modules will cover a variety of subjects which will help equip and resource local projects and those who volunteer as we seek to help those within the night-time economy. The modules are free of charge to download - they can be used within a group setting or by individual volunteers who want to develop personal skills to help as they serve. 
Acid / Chemical Attack

Taken from The Telegraph article:

NHS Choices say chemical burns require immediate medical attention at an A&E department. If you're helping someone else, they advise to put on appropriate protective clothing and then:
  • Remove any contaminated clothing on the person
  • If the chemical is dry, brush it off their skin
  • Use running water to remove any traces of the chemical from the burnt area
  • The most important first aid is to immediately wash affected body part of patient with plenty of fresh or saline water.
  • Don’t rinse the burn area with dirty water as it can cause severe infection.
  • Keep flushing the affected burn area with plenty of cool water,(not very cold) until the patient’s burning sensation starts fading. It may take 30-45 minutes.
  • Remove all the jewellery or clothing which had contact with acid.
  • Don’t apply any kind of cream, ointment on the affected area as it may slow the treatment procedure by doctors.
  • If possible, use sterilized gauze to loosely wrap the affected area. The gauze protects the skin from air, debris, dirt and contamination.
  • Rush the patient to a burn specialty hospital having isolated wards for burn patients.

Many health advice sites warn against using a hard spray of water on the affected area as it could possibly lead to more damage. “If possible, find out what chemical caused the burn and tell the healthcare professionals at A&E,”

First aid for burns - NHS Choices advice
  • Stop the burning process as soon as possible. This may mean removing the person from the area, dousing flames with water, or smothering flames with a blanket.
  • Remove any clothing or jewellery near the burnt area of skin.
  • However, don't try to remove anything that's stuck to the burnt skin as this could cause more damage.
  • Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes, as soon as possible after the injury.
  • Cover the burn with cling film. Put the cling film in a layer over the burn, rather than wrapping it around a limb.
  • Treat the pain from a burn with paracetamol or ibuprofen.
  • Sit upright as much as possible if the face or eyes are burnt.

​LGBTQ Community


How are we to react when we meet someone who identifies as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Queer (LGBTQ)? Confused and distant, or compassionate and with love?
