First Aid on the Curriculum
“After 10 years of campaigning by the
British Red Cross, it will be compulsory
for first aid skills to be taught in all
state schools in England from 2020.
It’s an impactful way to give young
people the confidence they need to
help someone.
As parents, Ben and I are so thrilled
our children will be able to learn these
important skills so that they never feel
completely helpless in an emergency
situation.
It’s also a relief knowing that if
anything were to happen to them in
the future, more people might be able
to help.
We support the British Red Cross’s
calls for it to become a compulsory
part of the curriculum throughout the
UK so all school children get the same
chance to learn how to save a life.”

Ambassador and TV adventurer Ben
