What they’ve said
“Many of these children and young people have experienced extreme neglect and often physical and sexual abuse. Some are so badly scarred from self-harming there isn't an inch of their bodies left untouched. They see self-harming as a route to safety. They are living in a state of terror, which may be hidden underneath layers of bravado.”

Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
