Milestones

We want the government to change law in relation to the death of a child by suicide. We think that all inquests involving these children should be conducted privately, shielded from the public and the media.

Any media publications should only be with the consent of the parent and follow Samaritans guidelines. If the media have access to this information, they can publish articles which can cause immense distress to family, friends, and the wider community. No family should have to endure this.
