Parent/Carer Feedback

This is what parents and carers have said about our service once we have supported their child.


We understand that this is a daunting time following the discovery that your child has experienced sexual abuse. For some, it can be a chaotic time that involves a number of agencies coming in and out of your lives. We want to offer hope to all those in this position what a difference working with our service can make to your child. One mum kindly wrote this letter to us (it has been anonymised to protect their identify).

 

"To H
I just really want to say thank you so much for all your support and guidance. B has made great progress and become stronger. You have also helped me massively learn how I can best support and nurture B through her trauma. I'm very grateful for all the advice you shared with me. As a family we are all going to miss you in our own ways, but mostly I’m glad you gave B the gift of being believed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
All my love and respect
Mum"
