Child Abuse Compensation Claims

Seeking redress in cases of historical child abuse

Whether you’ve experienced it yourself or care for someone who has, the impact of child abuse is long-lasting. Painful, isolating and needing immense courage to speak out about it, historic child abuse survivors deserve justice and support – and we’re here to help guide you through your or a loved one’s potential claim for compensation.

It doesn’t matter when it occurred, you may have a right to compensation if the abuse took place in a school, sports club, religious institution, Scout group, children’s home or foster care.

It’s possible to make a civil claim against an individual or organisation, through a government scheme or through other redress schemes.

The compensation schemes vary, depending on where you live (or where the abuse took place).
