Petition Action

Make first aid training, including CPR, compulsory in all UK schools

Petition Details

To make the teaching of first aid compulsory for all school students across the UK.

As a recent school leaver, I am concerned at the fact I went through primary and secondary education without any such training. Though widely offered as an optional module, I believe it should be made mandatory.

Additional Information

I have started this petition now after the worrying incident at the Euro 2020 match between Denmark and Finland. This made me realise how I might find myself in a situation where I would be ill-prepared to give potentially lifesaving first aid.

I intend on learning first aid in the immediate future to ensure I would be prepared should a critical situation unfortunately arise at any point.

This petition was rejected

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.

The UK Government is only responsible for the national curriculum for England, but you may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/584705
