Views of South Ayrshire children in refuges who have changed school

* “Worse than leaving our house.”

* “I don’t have the right uniform and everyone looks at me.”

* “I want to run away when I think about it.”

* “I just want to go and live with my granny then I can get back to my own school.”

* “I feel sick in the mornings by my mum dusnt listen about it.”
