Basic First aid should be taught on the school curriculum.

What the petition asks

People in the UK are unwilling or nervous to perform first aid and cpr when needed! If children were taught it at school, not only would this help those people injured in accidents or taken ill, it would also ease pressure on the already overstretched NHS.
