Rejected petition Make First Aid a part of the National Compulsory Curriculum in Schools.
Every year thousands of people die when simple First Aid could have prevented death.
It takes 20 minutes to show a class of children how and when todo CPR. If every child in Britain knew how todo CPR, or place a adult in the recovery position, possibly thousands of lives can be saved.
More details
Schools already have classes such as PSE/PHSE. This is where pupils get taught about Sex Education, How to pay bills, politics. SO WHY NOT INCLUDE FIRST AID.
