This Bill would require mental health first aid to be part of standard first-aid training. It aims to help people recognise signs of mental health distress and provide early support in emergencies, with updated courses delivered by recognised training providers. It also sets out how the training should be run and who must deliver it.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would typically move to committee stage for detailed examination.
