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

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
