What the petition asks
This should be strongly considered to become compulsory in our schools. It could save so many lives and has so many advantages. Little things like choking, the recovery position, stopping small wounds, applying pressure etc. It can help take pressure of our NHS system and can prevent fatal injuries.
This is a subject that should be added into our schools to help
Prevent or manage minor injuries. There are many accidents in public everyday, and it’s not always that there is someone of a medical profession near by. If we help provide support and training for this the benefits are endless as well as possibly life saving! If we introduce it into schools and help teach you her people how to deal with things as well as having a basic first aid understanding.
