Rejected petition: Make First Aid and Seizure Training Mandatory in All Schools
Rejected on
Change the law so that all schools must provide age-appropriate first aid training, including seizure first aid, to all pupils. This training should include CPR, the recovery position, and how to respond to common emergencies. It should be practical, refreshed regularly.
No child should ever feel helpless watching a friend collapse, stop breathing, or have a seizure. Yet many young people leave school without knowing how to help in an emergency.A few simple skills learned early can save lives. First aid training gives children the confidence to step forward, not back, when every second counts. It empowers them, protects their friends and families, and benefits society as a whole.
Every child deserves the knowledge to save a life.
