Rejected petition CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) should be taught to school children as part of the school curriculum

More details

In many European Countries, CPR is taught to school children as part of the curriculum. This important life saving skill is an essential life skill that all members of the public should know how to perform.
The initiation of bystander CPR by a trained individual significantly increases the chances of survival from an out of hospital cardiac arrest.
The introduction of CPR training to the curriculum would create a generation of lifesavers and significantly improve outcomes across the UK
Please sign this petition to ask the government to include CPR training in the school curriculum
