A Government consultation on the future of the national curriculum in schools in England comes to a close on Tuesday. The British Heart Foundation is leading a campaign for life-saving skills to be included as part of these reforms.

The Joe Humphries Memorial Trust (JHMT) wants people to support the call and take part in the consultation.

Joe's dad, Steve, chairman of the JHMT, said: "We feel every child should be taught CPR so they have the potential to save a life. The best way of achieving this aim is to have CPR taught in every school in England as part of the National Curriculum.

"If someone collapses you only have a few minutes to save a life, which means friends will need to know what to do."
