This report by User Voice highlights the plight of young people inhabiting the Children and Young People Secure Estate – which is made up of secure children’s homes, secure training centres and youth offender institutions. Commissioned by NHS England, which has responsibility for health and wellbeing matters in the estate, User Voice employed its peer-led research approach to elicit the views of some of the hardest-to-reach people in the criminal justice system. The project was inspired by the various threats posed by the escalating use of NPS/formerly legal highs in the adult prison estate and the need to understand how NPS affects younger people. What emerged though, was an insight in a much broader sense into the isolation, lack of trust and coping drug use of these highly vulnerable young people.http://www.uservoice.org/news/...63961_20181119021102
We come from all different sectors, walks of life and parts of the United Kingdom to prevent ACEs, and to change systems to become self-healing and to stop traumatizing already traumatized people.
