Education in Wales is a devolved policy area, meaning the Welsh Government has the authority to set its own curriculum policies. Your petition is about something that the Welsh Government and Welsh Parliament is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it. The Welsh Parliament has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Parliament, you can find out more here: https://petitions.senedd.wales/ You may also wish to raise this issue with your local Members of the Senedd who represent you.

Background

Make CPR and defibrillator training mandatory in schools. CPR saves lives — but too few know how to do it. Making CPR and defibrillator training mandatory in schools will create a generation of lifesavers. Every minute without CPR reduces survival chances by 10%. With proper training, students can act fast in emergencies and help close the gender gap in life-saving response. It’s simple, powerful, and urgently needed.
