I cannot imagine the shock and suffering of parents of children who die suddenly from SADS, but I have known people that have tragically died from the condition. I was pleased to see how enthusiastic the headteachers at the meeting were in getting these devices into their schools, and I am delighted to report that both Allestree Woodlands and Belper School already have them installed. I am confident that raising awareness in this regard will prevent further deaths in Mid Derbyshire, and I will continue to champion this cause in my work both in the constituency and in the Commons.

With the unit being fitted to a first school with young children we felt that, even though the statistics for sudden cardiac arrest are very low for that age group, should an incident have occurred in the future and the device was not able to be utilised we would have failed in our goal to make communities safer – quite simply we opted for the right solution for this environment.

We are delighted to support this initiative to help save lives in the Whittlesey area. We pride ourselves on being a community school and this shows how well the partnership with our community really works.
