Petition Mandatory First Aid training and certificate to all students 15-18 years old
Mandatory First Aid training is excellent as no one ever knows if or when a medical situation will arise, therefore these skills will be necessary in order to save lives.
More details
Approximately 140,000 people every year die in situations where their lives could have been saved if somebody had known first aid according to a article from the Guardian.
Around 2 million people are in secondary education, therefore providing mandatory first aid to would decrease the numbers of people dying due to preventative deaths significantly.
