SCHOOLS have been given access to a free resource website to help teach first aid to pupils.

St John Ambulance has launched the site after teachers said they believed first aid could help teach pupils to be more responsible.

Schools can also fulfil multiple elements of the PSHE and citizenship curriculum using resources on the site.

St John Ambulance already teaches valuable life skills to hundreds of thousands of young people by training them in first aid in schools and through its youth schemes.
