Thank you. I have one final question and I will let the witnesses go because I know they have had a long day. Both organisations work with crisis and it is a kind of crisis management to deal with trauma, and people are in a bad way when they contact their services. What recommendations would they have in this regard? Is it within their capacity to run a service that could provide intervention and prevention skills before it gets to that point where children and young people are suicidal? I hope I am making myself clear. Is there some organisation that does that already or would Barnardos and the ISPCC have the capacity to do that? If so, how would they go about it?
