Have you experienced sexual or physical abuse?

​

Our team of specialist lawyers can help you secure justice.

​

We have represented those who, as children, have experienced sexual or physical harm in care. We have taken action against the public bodies that should have protected them.

​

Many of our clients in this area have experienced considerable emotional and psychological trauma. They often find it difficult to talk about the abuse they were subjected to. Our solicitors act for clients with sensitivity, providing clear advice and forceful representation, in order to secure them justice.

Our work on sexual abuse

​

The firm’s public law department has built up years of expertise in dealing with child sexual abuse matters.

​

We have worked extensively on the Lambeth Children’s Home Redress Scheme, set up to compensate the thousands of children who suffered horrific physical and sexual abuse.

​

The team is also currently representing survivors of the Red House School in Norfolk, to seek compensation for the abuse they suffered. The school opened in 1984 for “problem children” across the UK to attend for an alternative education. Former pupils have now come forward and shared details of abuse from both the teachers and other pupils. The school has been described as the “home of horrors” by one survivor, whilst another survivor shared their experience of having broken bones from being restrained and being physically abused for not following the rules.

​

We have also been involved representing clients in the Independent Inquiry for Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
