A young hero from Manchester, Lucas, is making waves with his powerful advocacy for fire safety in schools. 'I'm just a disabled kid from Manchester but I could change the law' - these are the words of a 17-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who has sparked a national conversation. Lucas' story is an inspiring testament to the power of youth and determination. He launched his #NoStudentLeftBehind campaign after a close call with a small electrical fire at his school, which left him petrified and alone in his wheelchair in an upstairs room. This experience ignited his passion to ensure that no student is ever left behind in an emergency. His petition, which has garnered over 100,000 signatures, calls for every school and college to have an evacuation chair and training. The impact of his campaign has been felt across the nation, with the Minister for Schools Standards committing to meeting with Lucas and the government open to acting on his recommendations. But here's where it gets controversial... Some may argue that the responsibility lies with schools and local authorities to ensure the safety of all students. What do you think?
