Make it compulsory that schools, colleges & staff working with children know CPR

Closed 30 signatures

What the petition asks

After reading so many stories this week, both positive and negative, people are still dying because of the lack of basic first aid training

Hopefully this will go to the government and ask why schools, colleges and people that work with children aren't being taught CPR & the importance of it.
Making this compulsory, will not only save someone's life if the need arises, but will make people aware of the need for training.

Being an aspiring Paramedic, I know the importance of bystander CPR, as it increases the percentage of someone being saved and regaining life.
