Introduce first aid training to the national educational curriculum

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

After the danish and Finland euro match it is clear how vital first aid is. I want to be introduced into the national curriculm for all secondary schools.

We only have to have seen a snippet of the Denmark and Finland game to realise how important a good knowledge of first aid is.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government's new Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum requires that all students be taught first aid in primary and secondary schools.

Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/908013/Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education.pdf

The current curriculum does not require students to be taught in the use of defibrillators, and we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
