Kids on the Psychiatric Ward
Young women tell their stories from years spent on an adolescent psychiatric ward - a place supposed to make them better, but which they say failed them and left them traumatised. BBC Disclosure investigates claims that physical restraints and forced sedative injections are overused within a culture of cruelty among nursing staff in a specialist NHS unit. With first-hand testimony from six young women, this film shines a light on life inside a mental health hospital for some of our most vulnerable children.
