<p>This Government believes that the teaching of first aid skills is important. The
Department for Education works closely with expert organisations such as the Red Cross
and St John Ambulance who provide learning materials to schools, including life-saving
training kits produced by the British Heart Foundation. These kits provide young people
with first-hand experience of life-saving skills and we have promoted the use of these
via the termly school email and social media channels.</p><p>How first aid is provided
is up to teachers and is taught as part of personal, social, health and economic (PHSE)
education in schools. In line with the continued drive to reduce bureaucracy and burdens
on schools, we do not ask schools to routinely collect data on this.</p>
