Closed AED in all schools

Closed on

There are 270 cardiac arrests in UK schools each year. The current chance of surviving an SCA in UK is only 6% but immediate access to a defibrillator can raise this chance to 74%.
I therefore believe strongly that defibrillators should be mandatory in all schools. This should be a piece of compulsory health and safety equipment fitted in all schools.
Please sign this petition today to ensure the safety of children in our schools, where they spend a large part of their everyday lives.
Thank you so much
