An investigation was launched after a teenager battling anorexia was allegedly called a “skeleton” and told she "didn’t deserve help” by staff at a Merseyside charity.
Lucy*, whose name has been changed, started going to The Hive Youth Zone, on Bright Street in Birkenhead, in 2018. The Hive is a youth centre set up in 2017 with the ambition of improving opportunities for people in some of Wirral ’s most deprived areas.
The Hive said in a statement an independent investigation took place but no evidence of 'wrongdoing' was found although some staff did receive refresher training as a result.
