Dark Heart

2016

Dark Heart (2016) is a British crime show based on the Will Wagstaffe novels by English writer Adam Creed.

The series features Detective Inspector Will Wagstaffe who is haunted by the murder of both parents when he was only 16 years old.

What happened to the young Will Wagstaffe after the death of his parents – did he go into care, or was he taken care of by his sister? – we aren’t told.

Nor do we know by the end of the series the circumstances of his parents’ murder.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

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
