At RCUK, we believe that everyone should learn the skills to save a life. Schools offer a great environment for young people to learn and we have created a lesson plan to help you teach your students with confidence.

We have created resources that will help teachers to deliver CPR education confidently to their students wherever they live in the UK at any time during the school year. If you’re looking for a suitable moment, Restart a Heart Day takes place every year on 16 October.
