Submission Documents: By Councillor Dr Martin Bartos:- "In the light of the tragedies experienced by Glasgow in recent years and paying tribute to the consistent efforts of its citizens as passers-by to help; Glasgow City Council recognises its responsibilities in educating its youngest citizens as well as providing opportunities to Glaswegians of all ages to learn to help their fellow citizens. This Council notes existing efforts of Education Services across the city to teach first aid and endorses the aim of the British Heart Foundation of seeking a Nation of Life Savers; and instructs the Education Department to bring forward a costed and timely paper to the relevant Policy Development Committee regarding age appropriate instruction to be implemented city wide on dealing with emergencies for every pupil age group, with the ambition that before the end of 2016, by school leaving age, every Glasgow educated school pupil has had training in basic CPR (cardiopulminary resuscitation). Further this Council will raise this issue with Glasgow Life to ensure that resources are put in place to signpost Glasgow's adult citizens towards resources and local groups providing education in CPR, first aid and emergency response. In particular, the Council seeks to ensure that before the end of 2016 every Glasgow Life venue - every library, museum and sports facility - prominently displays information guiding Glaswegians to learn how to be a lifesaver."
