Friday, I bury my wonderful son, who took his own life and completed suicide. Please use these words, there is no shame or blame. He was a beautiful soul full of love and kindness. His friends created this tribute to him locally, they also came together to paint his coffin.

What I have noticed today is that when young people are compliant with the plan a professional can work with them, but when they are challenging or not doing what they are told, they are not children anymore. They are blamed. They got themselves into this was a quote.

My experience of parents is that’s it’s totally devastating and they are powerless to stop it. The harm is from outside the home, not in it. A better understanding of contextual safeguarding and not pointing the finger of blame at the parent but working with them.
