Written question asked by Helen Hayes (Labour) on Friday, 29 August 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 2 September 2025. It was answered by Olivia Bailey (Labour) on Tuesday, 23 September 2025 on behalf of the Department for Education.
Schools: CPR and Defibrillators
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department encourages schools to request a debriefing from their local ambulance service after a defibrillator or CPR resuscitation attempt.
- Answer
-
In 2023, the department provided defibrillators to state-funded schools in England, where existing provision was not in place.
The department recognises that individuals may need support following a resuscitation attempt. Our defibrillator guidance advises that should a rescuer require support after an incident, they may be able to request a debriefing from their local ambulance service, or they can seek support from their GP.
