Milestones

Make it a legal requirement for cafés, restaurants, and public venues to have an adequate first aid kit accessible for public emergencies and not only legally required for employee use. Currently it is ‘recommended’ a first aid kit is available for the public but it isn’t a requirement.

We think that no parent should ever have to watch their child in pain knowing basic first aid supplies could have made a difference.
