Recent cases have revealed a number of situations where abuses have occurred when children have been placed in the care of others beyond their families. Similar cases have however also occurred within family units.
In all such cases, significant distress has been caused and considerable resentment often remains. The courts have recognised this and have made it clear that in certain cases the normal period of 3 years for bringing the claim will not apply. However, you should not delay in seeking advice, once you are aware that you might be able to make a claim.
In such sensitive cases as these, compensation is assessed not just in relation to any physical injury but also in relation to any recognisable psychiatric effect. In many cases the cost of specialist treatment can be claimed in addition even before the conclusion of the claim.
Sadly, there are many adults alive today who are survivors of childhood abuse whether of an emotional, physical or sexual nature.
