All school children should be taught basic life-saving first-aid skills IN SCHOOL as part of the National Curriculum. It has been proved many times before that young children as young as 5 years old can perform basic first-aid to their freinds and adults alike.
In Norway it is Manadtory for ALL school children to be taught first-aid. If they can do this in Norway, then young children should be taught first-aid in the United kingdon. In fact this should happen all over the world.
Young primary school children can learn these vital ilfe-saving skills just as good as adults, if not better than adults.
Let's get this very important subject of the National Curriculum.
The Department for Education keeps ignoring our demands while kids remain completely unprepared for emergencies. This silence reveals exactly how little they care about student safety compared to their outdated curriculum priorities.

Every kid should know how to help someone in trouble. its just basic common sense to teach them while they are little.

my 7 year old is so smart she could totally learn this. schools spend all day on tests but not enough on real world stuff kids need to know.

SO IMPORTANT. my sister had a choking scare and nobody knew what to do. if she had learned this in school it would have been way less scary.

100% agree. this is a no brainer. literally could save a life if someone has a heart attack or gets hurt at school.
