A member from the British Red Cross, said: "We need to ensure that every young person, irrespective of whether they have been drinking, has the ability and confidence to cope in a crisis."
Children can learn skills including the recovery position, to avoid someone choking on their own vomit, and resuscitation techniques. As well as learning about alcohol-related problems, the campaign aims to help teach children how to help people with asthma attacks, head injuries, choking and epileptic seizures.
