We believe everyone can become a CPR hero. It’s not just for grown ups. Image Teaching all children what to do in an emergency, how to perform CPR and instruct an adult what to do, has been shown to dramatically increase survival rates from out of hospital cardiac arrest in other countries. We believe it is a life skill every young person should have. We realise that teaching and working with children can be a very busy job and that finding time for additional activities can be challenging. That’s where we can help... There are a few approaches you can take to help your children learn CPR Partners may have schools projects running in your area so contact us to find out. Where no formal local programmes exist, we can work with and support teaching staff to help them deliver CPR sessions to their classes at a time that suits. All our resources are available on GLOW Scotland and we can also provide you with stickers and cards to support you. Get your whole school CPR ready in a day and make it an event! We can work with teachers and staff in schools or leaders in youth groups to plan a whole school or group CPR day and enlist support from our partners local to you.
