HBA & Harmful Practice Media Guidelines
We have launched media guidelines for reporting on HBA and harmful practices and interviewing survivors.
The guidelines were created collaboratively by HBA survivors and frontline professionals and came following the charity’s Setting the Story Straight project, funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales. The project examined how HBA and harmful practices, its survivors and affected communities were represented in the media.
