Road safety

Research shows children lack first aid skills

Research shows that over half of children in the UK would not know how to carry out live-saving first aid at the scene of an accident.

Each year, 2,500 people are killed on Britain’s roads. Another 28,500 are seriously injured, including thousands of children.

Knowing just a few basics could help keep someone alive until an ambulance arrives.
