Can Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse Access Justice and Support?

On Tuesday 11 February 2020, Sarah Champion, as Chair of All Party Parliamentary Group for Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, published the final report resulting from its year long inquiry into survivors’ experiences of accessing support and the criminal justice system.

The report makes a series of recommendations to government which, if implemented, would transform the support survivors receive from statutory services and criminal justice agencies.

The report was launched at an event in Parliament where attendees heard from Wendy Morton MP, Minister for Victims; Dame Vera Baird QC, Victims Commissioner; Chief Constable Simon Bailey; as well as two survivors of abuse.

Sarah would like to thank everyone who contributed to the inquiry, particularly the survivors to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.

The report is available here.
