Jacob Collier MP, who sits on the Petitions Committee, said it was positive that the Minister [for Schools Standards Catherine McKinnell MP] committed to meeting with Lucas.
“He’s done really well to get that commitment from the Minister and I think it’s great that the government is open also to acting on this so that we can ensure that disabled children are safe in school.”
Lucas has joined forces with the Emergency Group, a company that who provide life-saving emergency equipment including evacuation chairs and defibrillators.
Nick Cox, from the group, said: “I think it’s inspiring. It’s a story that needs to be told.
“For a 16-year-old boy when he initially started it, to get where we are now, it’s unbelievable.
“We have had literally, and I’m not exaggerating, hundreds of people saying to us that they’ve been in the same situation in schools, colleges, universities.
“It’s quite a common occurrence and it shouldn’t be, it really shouldn’t be.”
