A coroner has found there were individual failings to follow support processes at a school attended by a trans teenager who died after telling staff he wanted to kill himself, but said there was no “systemic failure”.
The family of Alex Dews, 13, told an inquest earlier this year he was “crying out for help and was disregarded” while he was a Year 8 pupil at Outwood Academy Shafton, in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
