First Aid in Schools

‘Did you know that the Education Secretary, confirmed that CPR will be added to the school curriculum in England?’

Alert Training UK Ltd support the Government’s decision to add CPR and First aid to the National School Curriculum. The new proposals will see first aid and CPR being added to the curriculum as part of the Department for Education’s (DfE) plan to strengthen teaching of health, sex and relationships education in England.

With out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates being up to three times higher in countries where first aid is taught in schools compared to the UK, this decisive move could see thousands of lives saved each year.
