Biography or history

'The Hideout' was launched in 2005 as the first national website providing support and information for children and young people who experience domestic abuse, produced by Women's Aid and supported by BT and BBC Children in Need. 'Kidspeak' was an online consultation with children and young people set up by Women's Aid in partnership with Margaret Moran MP and with funding from The Body Shop, which took place throughout June-July 2007. Two separate, secure message boards were created, linked to 'The Hideout', where children were encouraged to open up about their experiences and interact with each other. The information on these forums was used as evidence to lobby the government.
