Introduce first aid training to the national educational curriculum

Petition Details

I would like for first aid to be nationally taught to help others help each other due to the passing of my grandfather while trying to help him I believe if I would have know more about first aid I believe he would still be here today to support this aswell.

Additional Information

Under present circumstances I believe with alot more people knowing first aid it would help release a massive burden upon the NHS.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government's new Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum requires that all students be taught first aid in primary and secondary schools.

You can read the full Relationships Education, Relationships and
Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/908013/Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education.pdf

The current curriculum does not require students to be taught in the use of defibrillators, and we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Add CPR, Basic Life Support and Defib Training to National Curriculum for 14+: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/584705

Add defib training to primary curriculum & centralise info on defib locations: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/586190
