This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Petition First aid and CPR should be taught as a mandatory part of the school curriculum.

People in the UK are unwilling to perform first aid - especially CPR - when required. If children were taught it at school, not only would this help those people injured in accidents or taken ill, it would also ease pressure on the already overstretched ambulance services and A&E departments.
