Get first aid taught in schools! Every Child a Lifesaver - take action!
In just two weeks, on Friday 20 November, the Emergency First Aid Education Bill will be debated by MPs in Parliament.

Why is this important?
Every Child a Lifesaver is based around a crucial goal: to ensure that all children get the chance to learn first aid in schools. The Emergency First Aid Education Bill, put forward by Teresa Pearce MP and requiring all state funded secondary schools in England teach first aid, would make that happen.
Too many people suffer needlessly when first aid skills could have helped and sadly only 24% of secondary schools currently teach first aid. By making first aid mandatory in all state-funded secondary schools through the Bill, can we create a generation that are equipped with the skills and confidence to step forward.
