Ongoing Cases

The Child Abuse Law team at Switalskis has a wealth of experience helping clients claim compensation in child abuse cases where the abuse happened a long time ago.

Following a recent change in the law that allows survivors of historic child abuse to bring claims against their abusers or the institutions that failed to protect them, our expert lawyers have represented many clients in claims relating to past abuse, including large group action cases.

We know that it can take many years for people who have suffered child abuse to be able to talk about their experiences. Even today, survivors of abuse that occurred in children’s homes, churches and boarding schools in the 1970s and 1980s are coming forward to seek the justice they deserve.

If you experienced child abuse or neglect while in the care of a public institution or private establishment you may be entitled to claim compensation. For expert advice speak to a member of our team in confidence, call 01924 882000 or complete our contact form.

Our team has dealt with claims relating to a wide range of schools, children’s home, youth detention centres and other establishments. Click on the name of the institution for more information.
