School Child Abuse Compensation Claims

Schools should be an environment where children feel safe to learn, develop and grow. Unfortunately, gaps in safeguarding procedures sometimes allow adults with an evil intent to access positions of trust and take advantage of a child.

For any youngster who suffers child abuse in a school, this extremely traumatising experience can cause life-long suffering and have far-reaching implications.

​

If you experienced emotional, physical or sexual abuse at school – or you’re the parent or carer of a child who has – we can help you access seek justice and compensation. Sexual abuse and assaults do not just take place in state-funded schools. Our specialist abuse team have also supported survivors who suffered sexual abuse in boarding schools, private schools, public schools and residential schools.

​

Abuse of this nature can be carried out by teachers, other staff members or people who are in a position of trust. In some instances, other pupils may be responsible. No matter when the abuse took place, or who was responsible, our solicitors will provide expert support and advice to help you hold those responsible to account.
