How to administer CPR is already part of the health curriculum for secondary schools, which you can see on page 38 of the curriculum guidance here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1090195/Relationships_Education_RSE_and_Health_Education.pdf

Background
Our fellow European countries have cpr & Defibrillator training as part of there school curriculum, no schools in the uk offer this.
Because in Europe it is part of the curriculum & children have the knowledge & skill to do cpr there survival rates are around 78% where as at present here in the uk our survival rates are 18%.
In implementing this training into our schools it can only improve our survival rates for the better.
