Provide the opportunity for new parents to attend First Aid courses
I am starting this petition after my son choked on a slice of tomato. I went on a First Aid course whilst pregnant, but it cost £45 each for my husband and I. Some Childrens' Centres provide courses, but often, you are not aware of this until you actually become a parent and use the Centres!
First Aid is a vital skill to have, and everyone should have the opportunity to learn basic lifesaving skills. However, I am specifically targeting this petition for parents, as our kids have a habit of getting themselves into all sorts of mischief, and almost everything poses a hazard to our little ones!
I am calling for basic First Aid info to be provided to parents and carers, be it through at a course, or even leaflets handed out at antenatal appointments. Anything to spread the word.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
