Petition Details

To instigated the training of CPR & Defibrillator procedures into the schools curriculum from year 6 onwards.

Additional Information

Our fellow European countries have cpr & Defibrillator training as part of there school curriculum, no schools in the uk offer this.
Because in Europe it is part of the curriculum & children have the knowledge & skill to do cpr there survival rates are around 78% where as at present here in the uk our survival rates are 18%.
In implementing this training into our schools it can only improve our survival rates for the better.
