P-04-396  Emergency Life Support Skills (ELS) for Wales Schoolchildren

Petition wording:

We call upon the National Assembly to urge the Welsh Government to make ELS skills training, including vital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) a compulsory part of the curriculum at secondary schools in Wales, forming part of the core knowledge and understanding that children acquire at school.  This would create a new generation of lifesavers across Wales.
