In today's episode we hear first hand the devastating impact that abuse has on children and young people when we speak to a survivor of sexual abuse, who joins us to share her story to help us to learn how we can best support victims at the most critical times in their lives.

Importantly though, we also speak with Jodie and Ellie from Barnardos Phoenix Project, who work to support victims of sexual abuse recover from their trauma.
