The parents of a girl killed by a pack of dogs are launching a safety campaign across schools in Wigan. Jade Lomas Anderson who was just 14 was mauled to death in an attack at a friends house last March.
Today talks will go ahead at St Richard's RC Primary school in Atherton but every school in the town will take part in the scheme over the next year. The initiative, is being delivered by Wigan Council in partnership with Blue Cross pet charity.
Jades stepfather Michael Anderson said:
"It is so important to educate young people about this subject and we really hope that schools and organisations will take part. The sessions can be delivered in just 20 minutes and will provide vital information for children and their parents.
Over 200,000 people are involved in dog attacks every year and through this programme we hope to make a real difference as part of Jade's legacy."
