To properly implement first aid learning in high schools
Make it mandatory for children to be taught first aid as it’s an important factor to every day life
I was recently involved with a man being hit by a car whilst on his bike I knew first aid but it was lucky that I was there I am only 16 years old and beileve that children should know the basics to first aid just in case they see an incident and no one professional is there to respond

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Basic first aid is already taught in schools as part of the physical health and mental wellbeing section of the statutory relationships, sex and health education curriculum.
The module contains information on making an emergency call, the concepts of basic first aid, basic treatment for common injuries, life-saving skills including CPR and understanding defibrillators:
