Birdsong

2012

The 2012 British television drama, Birdsong, tells the story of Stephen Wraysford during WW1. Stepehn Wraysford was orphaned by the age of 4, but we don't know his living arrangements after that.

Stephen Wraysford's war experiences are interspersed with flashbacks to his affair with Isabelle Azaire, a young married woman he met and fell in love with before the war.

The book is based on Sebastian Faulks' 1993 novel of the same name and stars Eddie Redmayne.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
