Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse have campaigned for a change in the law following their 15-year-old daughter's tragic death from anaphylaxis after eating a baguette containing hidden sesame seeds.

Nick, a family friend, has been advising the family since Natasha's death in July 2016, providing media support before, during and after the inquest, and through the campaign for Natasha's Law.

The family launched their charity the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation (www.narf.org.uk) on June 25th with the announcement by Environment Secretary Michael Gove of the law change, and a series of media interviews - supported by patron Sarah, Duchess of York - promoting the charity.

Nick, who will take a part-time role with the foundation, organised 18 broadcast interviews on the day including R4 Today, BBC Breakfast, This Morning, ITN, Sky News, 5 Live and R1 Newsbeat.
