In this episode, I, Naomi, tell you why I wanted to make this series. Because a friend of mine, 34-year-old Suzanne Brown, known lovingly as Sue, was murdered by her boyfriend. My friend and her boyfriend consistently asked for help for his mental health issues, but that help never came.
My friend Sam, Sue's best friend, helps me tell her story, as we remember the incredible woman she was.

Whilst around 2000 deaths are being investigated by the Lampard Inquiry, there have been many other deaths of people who have been under the care of Essex mental health services, but they aren't being included. This is because they fall outside of the three-month post discharge window set by the terms of reference. People like 21-year-old Tillie, who just missed out on being included in the inquiry, despite years of treatment under EPUT.
This is Tillie's story, told by her mother Lisa.

In this episode, we see what happens when staff make the wrong decision. A decision that can mean the difference between life or death.
35-year-old Joshua Leader was about to admitted into a mental health unit in Essex, after a mental health nurse saw that Joshua was on the edge of life. But another nurse decided that wasn't going to happen, without reading Joshua's notes and without giving him a proper assessment. He was sent home and 2 days later, he was dead.
This is Joshua's story, told by his brother Dan.

26-year-old Abbigail Smith was the apple of her mother's eye. She was a talented young woman with a beautiful voice and a kind heart.
But her struggles with autism and mental health meant that she was frequently in the hands of those working in Essex mental health services, spending years in inpatient facilities, trying to be saved. But Abbigail's mother Lisa, said that instead of being saved, she was traumatised by the things she saw and things that happened to her whilst in the states care. So much so, that it ended up killing her.
This is Abbigail's story, told by her mother Lisa.

In 2012, 20-year-old Matthew Leahy was sectioned in a mental health hospital in Essex. He had gone there for help for his declining mental health issues.
But Matthew told his mother that he was seeing things on the ward that were criminal. In November 2012, he made a call to the police, and told them he had been drugged and raped. Four days later, he was dead.
And every day since then, his mother Melanie Leahy, has fought for answers and her fight is one of the main reasons there is now a public inquiry.
This is Matthew's story. #matthewscampaign

In 2023, the UK government announced it would be investigating the deaths of 2000 patients, who died under Essex mental health services, as part of a public inquiry.
With the inquiry now underway, some of the families of those who lost their lives, whilst in the care of Essex Partnership University Trust and its predecessors, are telling their tragic and heartbreaking stories. Many of these families still have no idea why their loved ones died and they are hoping this inquiry will hold to account those who have repeatedly failed patients in their care.
This series addresses catastrophic failures including proven sexual assaults from staff on patients, the falsifying of care plans after a patient has died, unexplained deaths and reviews harrowing undercover footage from inside two mental health inpatient wards in Essex. This series has been made with the aim of giving grieving families a voice, advocate for change and to be part of the campaign to prevent future deaths.
