Read Anne Longfield’s Huffington Post blog about her visit to Iceland to see Barnahus in action:

It has proved so successful there that the number of convictions of perpetrators has more than doubled. Importantly, the process significantly lowers the chances of children being re-traumatised by having to relive their experiences in open court.”
