A transgender charity allegedly trained volunteers to advise self-harming children to use “clean razor blades”.
LGBT Youth Scotland was reported to the charity regulator by a whistleblower who claims they were given “shocking and callous” instructions on how to deal with young people who were intentionally harming themselves.
Instead of discouraging the children from hurting themselves, it is alleged that managers said that if they were harming themselves as a “coping mechanism”, it would be wrong to “take that away from them”.
