First Aid: Curriculum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of including first aid training in the national curriculum.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
All state-funded schools in England are required to teach first aid as part of statutory health education, which is taught as part of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE). It includes basic first aid and dealing with common injuries. Pupils in secondary schools are taught further first aid, for example how to administer CPR and the purpose of defibrillators.
