Self Harm Inquiry

Girl upset about self harming

Launched at the House of Commons in 2004, the two-year Inquiry has heard evidence from over 350 individuals and organisations, and most importantly listened to the voices of young people who have experience of self-harm.

 

The campaign calls on the Government to launch a UK-wide initiative to develop better and more appropriate responses to young people who self-harm, starting with an awareness campaign targeted at professionals, parents and young people.
