Ms Leanne Lowry:

We are the person who sits beside the young person at those meetings. We are the people who walk to the meetings with them and their parents. We leave the meeting and we go for the hot chocolate after the meeting with that young person. The statutory agencies are there but it is the unique relationship the youth worker has that allows us to go further. We do not have the resource and remit to go further and that is what we are calling for today.
