Once again this past week we’ve been busy scanning across the internet to find the latest information and Open University courses. The greatest university on the planet (we reckon anyway) is always innovating and leading the way on many issues that affect us around the globe and these news pieces reflect just that. So if there’s a free course or bit of news on the agenda then hopefully we will pick it up and stick it on the next Open University news.

“The family of a nine-year-old boy who fell from a faulty coach at 60mph have called for tougher safety regulations on bus companies. Seb Goold lost his right leg above the knee after plummeting from the 20-year-old vehicle when the side exit door swung open. He survived his terrifying injuries, including a punctured artery, thanks to his father’s quick reactions and treatment by a doctor and nurse who were in cars behind.”

Meanwhile, mum Tracey, an Open University lecturer, had been travelling home from the tournament with friends and learned of the accident by text.
