Fund defibrillators and emergency first aid training for all schools

Closed 2,578 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that every school in this country should have at least 1 defibrillator and a number of staff who are sufficiently trained to use it as well as CPR. The Government should provide funding for this to ensure our children are better protected in the future.
There are too many cases where a lack of first aid skills or access to emergency equipment such as defibrillators can put the lives of children at risk. Providing funding for defibrillators and emergency first aid training for all schools should help save lives.
