Hear Me, See Me. Podcast. Leon McLeod.

I have heard Leon's inspirational story on other podcasts and was really pleased when he agreed to come on mine. This is his story in his own words.

" On Saturday 3rd June 2017 my life changed in a way I could never have prepared for.

While on a foot patrol with my colleague, we stepped into a situation that I can hardly find the right words to explain as the atrocities of the London Bridge and Borough Market terror attack began to unfold.

Although I didn’t sustain the physical injuries or worse that so many others unfortunately did, the events have no doubt left their mark.

I know for certain that many of my colleagues and fellow members of the blue light family that responded to calls for assistance have been affected along with the countless other members of the public, and while that night was beyond the norm, emergency services personnel are faced with traumatic events on a daily basis all over the country. The horrendous scenes of Grenfell and the continued attacks on British shores only serve to highlight this.

We’re all only human, but yet we all come back in day after day to do it all again never knowing what’s around the corner.

Clearly though there’s only so much a person can take, and it seems that only recently proper attention has been paid to mental health and wellbeing. No matter how big or small, things will always leave a mark. "
