In case you missed it on Friday evening's bulletin, I spoke to @itvmeridian about my call, alongside Joe Abbess' mum Vanessa and @RLSSUK, for more water safety education to be taught in classrooms. 👇

Many of you will know that Vanessa Abbess has been a brave and formidable campaigner for water safety education following the tragic drowning of her beloved son Joe. Ahead of my backbench debate in Parliament yesterday, we spoke to @BBCNews about what needs to change.

No one should go through a heartbreaking loss of a loved one due to drowning. This National #DrowningPreventionWeek, the Government is working to ensure that schools teach the water safety code as part of our new RSHE statutory guidance, to be published shortly.

It’s National #DrowningPreventionWeek. Swimming and water safety is a vital life skill, and we're determined every child learns how to be safe in water. PE & PSHE lessons provide all children with these important skills. With summer holidays approaching, let’s be water safe.
