Thank you for taking part in the study. We wanted to understand how young people want to be involved in research about themselves, when the research is about difficult experiences.

First of all, please tell someone. You can speak with a parent, carer or guardian, a keyworker, and/or another trusted adult or any of the members of staff at 6VT.
