What the petition asks

I want first aid to be taught in more depth at school so young adults know what to do in emergencies and not panic. They should know how manage minor injuries and use plasters, bandages, slings, splints and how to do CPR on someone.
They should know how to contact the emergency services and give accurate location information using technology.
