Make first aid education compulsory in all UK schools
We want the Government to make first aid training a compulsory part of the curriculum in all UK primary and secondary schools.
First aid is a vital life skill. In emergencies, knowing what to do can save lives, yet many students leave school without basic training. Given incidents in schools and everyday life, young people should be prepared to respond. These skills are useful for everyone, regardless of career, and can make a real difference in critical moments.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
First aid training is already part of the health curriculum for schools, which you can see on page 37 + 38 of the curriculum guidance here:
