Rejected petition Make cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) part of the national curriculum to be taught in all schools

More details

An estimated 30,000 people each year in the UK suffer cardiac arrests in public.

But fewer than one in 10 survive - and only around a third receive CPR from a bystander.

Studies have shown that a bystander performing CPR can double the chances of the victim living.

I believe CPR should be a basic skill that EVERYONE should have and the easiest way to achieve this is to teach it in our schools.
