Something i learnt in law about this type of thing in the duty of care legality. CSO's or any persons employed would be warned about taking something on without training or permission for this reason, so hence why could be deemed sackable.

So what is the point of learning First Aid? None at all as far as I can see if you then use it to save someone and become a criminal for having done so.

I watched the story on Granada Reports at about the same time Spuggie and the reporter certainly told it as if the lad was there and clearly visible and the two CSOs just ignored his cries for help.
