Petition · past parliament

For all students in secondly schools in the UK to be trained in first aid skills

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

I think all students across the country in secondly school should be trained in first aid as it is not covered in all subjects. By signing this petition you could save someone's life by allowing all students across the country to have free first aid training.
I am studying healthcare level 3 at college.

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.
