Hi there, I hope you're well. Just quickly before we start, thanks to those who've sent in feedback

about the episodes we've released over the last year or so. Many of which have definitely

ruffled some feathers. I wanted to let you know that next up will be the annual case updates

and feedback episode, where we'll be responding to the most common feedback and answering questions.

So stay tuned for that, but for now, it's on with the show.

An additional content warning. This episode includes mention of intimate partner violence,

suicidal ideation, and grooming and sexual assault of an underage person. No graphic details

will be given. Please take care when listening.
