Children who witnessed the attack will be deeply affected
Julia Faulconbridge, a consultant clinical psychologist, says the experience of children will vary depending on how close to the incident they were.
There are those who witnessed it directly, she says, those in the local community and also those who hear about what happened indirectly.
Speaking about those who saw the attack first hand, she told Sky News: “They will have witnessed terrifying things and they will have been afraid for their own lives.
“It’s very unlikely that any of those children directly involved will simply recover from that without intervention.”
