Make First Aid Education Compulsory for All Secondary School Students

Make First Aid Education Compulsory for All Secondary School Students — 19 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We call on the UK Government to introduce compulsory first aid training into the secondary school curriculum.

Additional details

Young people are often the first on scene during emergencies and early action can save lives. Teaching essential skills such as recognising life threatening injuries, controlling bleeding, placing someone in the recovery position and performing basic CPR will give them the confidence and ability to act quickly. First aid is a vital life skill. It empowers young people, reduces preventable deaths and strengthens our communities.
