Television interviews
Special BBC Breakfast program
8th May 2024 BBC breakfast program on social media with Ofcom's CEO Melanie Dawes and Government's Technology Secretary of State Michelle Donelan MP, along with 10 other bereaved parents.
My first talk 6 months after Jools died.
Please note that this has a trigger warning, and I now know not to talk about means of death in case people copy. I wasn’t aware of this at that time.
Ellen was talking at a Mortgage industry dinner at the ICC in Birmingham, six months after Jools had died and before his inquest. There was a lovely standing ovation at the end.
