Jessica Baker, 15, and coach driver Stephen Shrimpton, 40, died after the school bus overturned on Friday morning.
Children involved in a coach crash that killed two people are being offered specialist mental health support and school staff are accompanying them on buses, a headteacher has said.
Four children who were taken to hospital – including a 14-year-old boy whose injuries are said to be life-changing – are in stable conditions, Merseyside Police said. “First of all we have staff travelling on the buses, we thought that was important,” Stephen Gray told BBC One’s Breakfast programme on Monday, outlining the support being offered.“So we are working with West Kirby in terms of staffing the buses.“We have specialist mental health support coming in from the NHS, and we also have our own staff as well.”
