Caren O’Braidagh, from Harrow, delivered her ‘Letter to My Younger Self’ in a Metropolitan Police seminar, which she detailed an incident in her 20s which left her hospitalised and requiring life-changing surgery.

Landrose Developments was fined £18,820 at Brent Magistrates’ Court for illegally destroying a building in 2016 where protected Pipistrelle bats were known to roost.
The presence of the bats meant that the building could not be demolished without a European Protected Species License and appropriate mitigation in place.
DC Garry Redshaw, who led the investigation, said: “The development company was clearly aware of the bats’ existence but proceeded to destroy their resting place anyway.”
