Fund free paediatric first aid and life support classes during pregnancy

Closed 36 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to implement a new policy so that all expecting parents are offered paediatric first aid and life support training.
It is incredibly important that parents know the signs and symptoms of certain illnesses and potentially life-threatening signs and symptoms in babies and toddlers, so they can act accordingly if it is needed. I believe having the knowledge and understanding of what red flags to look out for will make a huge difference to parents' confidence.
