Published responses
Only answers from respondents who gave permission are published. However, all responses were included in the analysis of this consultation.
Participants in the consultation shared their personal and/or professional experiences and views of media reporting on child homicide victims. It is important to be aware of the potentially distressing and triggering content in the responses.
Some responses made reference to the names of victims of child homicide. These names have been redacted from the published responses available below to avoid causing any undue re-traumatisation of bereaved families.
If you have been affected by any of the issues discussed in this consultation, information, advice and assistance can be provided by Victim Support Scotland and other organisations that provide general and specialist support.
