Abuse Claims Advice

Tragically, the most common abuse is in the family home by someone living with the victim or visiting the family.

Institutional abuse is usually carried out by individuals in a position of power while at a particular organisation. The type of abuse suffered by children can include physical, emotional and sexual, all of which can, and usually does, have a significant effect on their life as an adult.

The institutions where abuse has been known to occur have a duty to care for and protect the children while ensuring there is a safe environment for them. These include, but are not limited to schools, foster care homes, clubs and leisure premises, church and religious establishments and detention centres.

Our civil litigation team have a national reputation for supporting abuse survivors. The team have been involved in large scale cases such as Medomsley Detention Centre and also in supporting a client in the landmark ‘same roof rule’ case that resulted in changing the law.
