Are all teachers trained in CPR/First Aid?

[Greenkit]

This was posted on Facebook www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jcPSqe-oxPM and I wondered how many teachers are trained in CPR/First Aid and if it is mandatory or voluntary?

Also how many UK schools have AED's?

Do you think each school should have one?

As a former school teacher and a first aid trainer I know that there huge differences. Not all school teachers are trained. One school I went to recently had nobody trained to meet their legal obligations.

I do support a charity called Hand on Heart which aims to get more defibrillators into schools and train up staff and pupils. www.handonheart.org/. 12-16 young people die every week in the UK from sudden cardiac arrest, 80% of victims will have no prior symptoms.
