Which Institutions Can You Claim Against?
Foster homes
We support compensation claims for those abused or mistreated while in local authority foster care, even if it happened many years ago.
Our legal team has extensive experience pursuing claims involving foster carers who used their position of trust to cause harm.
Churches and religious institutions
Abuse has occurred within organisations such as the Catholic Church, Church of England and other faith groups. Religious leaders may exploit their status and influence, particularly over vulnerable children and adults.
Claims can be brought where the abuse was linked to the abuser’s role, or where the organisation failed to act on concerns.
Schools & Colleges
Teachers and staff hold positions of trust, and abuse in educational settings – whether sexual, physical or emotional – can have lifelong impact.
Although claims should usually be made before age 21, courts can extend this limit. We are experienced in evidencing why delays occur and supporting survivors through the process.
Scouts
Scout leaders and volunteers are entrusted with young people’s development, but some have abused that trust.
Claims may be brought against the Scouts Association where abuse was enabled by the abuser’s role or by organisational failings, such as ignoring disclosures or inadequate background checks.
