There is a need to provide better training to
young people on how to identify and stop a bleed.
The Manchester Arena Inquiry Report, Volume 2-II, includes the
following recommendation:
The Department for Education should consider extending the National
Curriculum to ensure that pupils, once of an appropriate age,
receive education in all first responder interventions.
‘Stop the bleed’ day will allow large numbers of young
people to receive potentially life saving first aid training.
If the pilot in GM is successful, CitizenAid plan to roll out
nationally.
