Was that known as "An Injection Of Capital ?"I've just bought myself a new first aid kit.
I thought I'd treat myself.
Labour introduced a bill for it to be taught in all schools but Philip Davis and other Tories talked the bill out so it never became law. Yet another shameful, spiteful act by the Tories: Tory MPs block bill to give first aid training to children by talking non-stop until debate endsShould be at compulsory with the amount of hard school of knocks about
Disgraceful that in our democracy, 639 MPs could support a motion but it might not go ahead because one individual drones on filibustering for hours. They really need to reform so that everyone gets a fair bit of airtime but if a vote is needed the vote is scheduled for a particular time and will go ahead. No action or further debate should always be a voting option up to a certain number of further debates, but to not have something heard because one person doesn't like it is crazy.Labour introduced a bill for it to be taught in all schools but Philip Davis and other Tories talked the bill out so it never became law.

Filibustering should be outlawed or at the very least it should not stop a vote at the end. If you waste your time making your point by waffling on then tough. There should be a vote at the end.We didn't. In the first couple of years we had a "tutorial" session with the head of year for an hour every week. In the latter years it changed to Pre-Vocational Studies. I can't remember us ever doing anything useful in that at all. I think we might have done typical interview aptitude tests but otherwise it was the waste of an hour.
I always felt that it should become a life skills lesson. Learn first aid. Learn how credit cards and other loans work so you can get the best deal while avoiding crippling debt. (The language of car salesmen regarding finance is a lesson in itself). All these sorts of things that would have been useful to know but I kind of taught myself when released to the world.

You did PVS at the same school as me. Do you remember anything useful there? The most I can remember is getting loads of pointless information leaflets and we had to make them nice by colouring in the border. The teacher said it was an easy GCSE for people to get. I didn't because I refused to hand in my folder. I forgot about it until a year later when I found it in the bottom of my wardrobe. I hadn't even realised PVS was missing from my list of results. I think back then I probably valued maths and science more than colouring in.I didn't learn it at school and my bairns haven't learned in standard lessons.
My daughter is currently doing a St John's course for her Duke of Edinburgh but that's an optional thing she's chosen to do.

This...you can learn anytime, any age.No but I did as a St Johns member.
No reason not to be included in the curriculum, throughout my life the test has got easier with the responder having less and less to do other than to make the patient comfortable.
