In October last year outdoor sports instructor, Colin Macdonald, was given a sentence of 12 years for the sexual abuse of deaf children under his supervision between 1973 and 1983.

See Hear revisits the case and talks to some of those who gave evidence against him in court and have bravely waived their right to anonymity. We also hear from the N.S.P.C.C. and Northern Constabularies police force who talk about abuse and what to do if it has affected you or anyone you know.

If you would like more information about the issues raised in this programme, send a text with the words See Hear to 63399 and the BBC Action Line will send you a message with details of organisations you can get in touch with.
