A note on Jorja's privacy
Jorja is a child, and that comes first.
Jorja is a child. She did not choose to become part of a public campaign, and she cannot consent to being written about. Her family decide what is shared about her, and that decision is theirs alone.
Any photograph of Jorja, and any detail about her health, is used only with the family's written consent. We will not supply images of her, and we will not confirm or discuss her medical situation. Where journalists need context, Robin will speak for the family himself.
We ask the same of anyone reporting on this clinic. Please write about the policy, the campaign and the service, and leave a child her privacy.
