I think it’s a good idea for children to learn basic first aid as it can save a life if at home and they might be the only one at home with mum/ dad/ Nan or grandad or even a brother or sister. Also an acct ours happen when older children are out with friends and this way they could make a difference between life and death

It's important that everyone should have basic first aid training. You never know when it might be needed at home with a loved one or out and about in town or country.

Emma Hamilton (Basildon, 2023-01-04)

It so important, it's a skill everyone should have basic knowledge of. Why is learning about sewing more important than the potential of helping someone in trouble or even saving a life

Sally Waide (Wickford, 2023-01-05)

Time is crucial in an emergency. It would also be beneficial to youngsters to know first aid

Not only will it take the strain off the NHS, it’ll give the children some knowledge they perhaps didn’t have before on what to do in the event of a potential emergency whilst waiting for necessary help, or take away some panic making whatever the situation somewhat easier to deal with in the moment.

Lauren Kaye (Basildon, 2023-01-06)

Should’ve been made mandatory years ago. Such an underrated discussion that NEEDED to be made and finally has come to surface. The amount of positive impact this will have on not only families or patients but health workers as well is unbelievable. A change needs to be made and this is such a small step that will make such a phenomenal difference!!!🙏🏻

I think this is a sound idea. It would be great for our communities if we created a generation that knew the basics, who’s first instinct was ‘I could help’.

Jeff Henry (Laindon , 2023-01-08)

Wendy Morse (Billericay, 2023-01-23)

#113

Health and illness is a fundamental part of life. First aid is a life skill. It is appauling that this is not part of the curriculum and being unable to manage these life skills is another contributing factor to lack of self care/responsibilities to self, innaproppiate use of a stretched healthcare sector and sky rocketing levels of anxiety in the general population.

Anita Pollard (Essex, 2023-01-25)

I believe it is such a vital skill to know to help save someones life especially as I had to save my aunts life in 2021 when she was choking on food. Her choking was completely silent so I knew it was very serious. Luckily I knew how to react and her life was saved. I'm just so grateful I was there and knew what to do without hesitation.
