We know that many people have experienced trauma related to their experience of care.
BBC Four is showing a ‘Storyville’ episode on Monday 15 March. This will explore the background to the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry. We know that for some people this will be a trigger for trauma, pain and anger. We would like to make people aware that each of our organisations (and many others) can help.
