    With health education in schools universal from 2020, more pupils will learn vital skills such as basic 1st aid, CPR & how to get help in a medical emergency. This will give young people the confidence to know that they can step in to help someone in need

    Learning first aid and techniques like CPR can give young people the confidence to step in to help someone – and that could potentially save a life. Thanks to Senior Cardiac Nurse, Philippa Hobson for showing me how.

    My New Year’s : to put my phone away. Screen limits for the children are the relatively easy bit... I am guilty as charged when it comes to spending too much time on it myself.

    We all want to do our bit to protect the environment 🌍 So we want schools to stop using plastic bags, straws, bottles and food packaging and go single-use plastic free by 2022 🍃

    The very 1st question I was asked as educn secy on a school visit was about limiting the effect of plastic on our environment. It’s not always easy but we all have a part to play. Children themselves are showing great leadership and so are their schools.

    Tech does have a downside (he says on tech) but stats out today show that when used in the right way, it can be used to actively support a child's learning. It's encouraging to see that 74% of parents are using technology to help their children learn.
