Put First Aid on the National Curriculum

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

If First Aid is learnt by the younger generation then it will stick with them for life and they will be able to apply it whenever they come across a situation in which it would be needed. Many do not know how to administer First Aid and it could potentially save a life if they are able to learn.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

First aid and CPR should be taught as a mandatory part of the school curriculum.
