Make CPR training compulsory in secondary schools

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

My two boys have recently had to administer cpr to their dad who was seriously ill and ended up ventilated in a medically induced coma. Thanks to their quick actions calling the ambulance service who then told them exactly what to do they were able to save their dads life.
If they get taught this in school it could go on to save other people's lives.

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.
