Rejected petition Make it mandatory for everybody to learn CPR

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about whether adults learn CPR are a matter for individual adults, not the UK Government or Parliament.

How to administer CPR is already part of the health curriculum for secondary schools: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1090195/Relationships_Education_RSE_and_Health_Education.pdf

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund free CPR courses for all adults, but it would be up to individual adults whether to take this up.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
