Make First Aid a part of the National Compulsory Curriculum in Schools.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Every year thousands of people die when simple First Aid could have prevented death.

It takes 20 minutes to show a class of children how and when todo CPR. If every child in Britain knew how todo CPR, or place a adult in the recovery position, possibly thousands of lives can be saved.

Schools already have classes such as PSE/PHSE. This is where pupils get taught about Sex Education, How to pay bills, politics. SO WHY NOT INCLUDE FIRST AID.
