Child survivors of the Manchester Arena bomb are still suffering from the attack five years on, with some “re-traumatised” by “really shocking examples of poor support” provided by schools and GPs, a researcher has found.
Some have been made to take part in exercises in class without warning, involving how and where to hide if a gunman enters their school, according to Dr Cath Hill, a social worker and lecturer at Lancaster University leading research into the support provided after the 2017 attack.
