CPR should be made part of the national curriculum and taught to all school kids

Petition Details

I am a state registered Paramedic of over 12 years experience.
People are dying because others have neither the confidence nor the free state backed training they need from a young age to help save lives.
Teaching CPR through school up to 16 could save many lives and boost children's confidence.

Additional Information

CPR is not part of the national curriculum. I would argue this leads to a fear of causing further harm which deters people from acting positively and swiftly in life threatening situations.
It will cost next to nothing to train a teacher in every school to deliver basic CPR. This should be repeated each year from 12 to 16 as a refresher as part of the school curriculum. Children with then leave school with the skills and confidence to make a difference.
