Make First Aid Skills a compulsory part of the UK's National Curriculum.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

More than 150,000 people a year in the UK alone die from easily preventable deaths, simply due to the fact that not enough people are confident in giving First Aid.This petition is therefore created in order to reduce this number and give the majority the basic skills that could help to save a life.

Help the new generation save more lives than us.
