Introduce CPR training into schools

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

For those of us living in the UK, the survival rate from a heart attack outside hospital is less than 12%. In some states of the USA and some other countries such as Sweden the survival rate can be as high as 50%. One reason for this massive difference that we don't train our children in schools.
