Rejected petition Introduce first aid training to the national educational curriculum
After the danish and Finland euro match it is clear how vital first aid is. I want to be introduced into the national curriculm for all secondary schools.
More details
We only have to have seen a snippet of the Denmark and Finland game to realise how important a good knowledge of first aid is.

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
The Government's new Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum requires that all students be taught first aid in primary and secondary schools.
