Members of the victims and survivors consultative panel of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse urge people to speak to the Truth Project before a deadline at the end of July
The Truth Project, set up by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, has played a vital role in helping the inquiry understand where and how organisations are failing children, and also in providing victims and survivors with a supportive and safe opportunity to finally be heard.
To date, more than 5,600 people have shared their experience of child sexual abuse with the Truth Project; each one makes a vital contribution to the inquiry’s work and helps it to make recommendations. Victims and survivors who have taken part have been able to tell the inquiry how institutions have failed them, and explain what needs to change in order to better protect children in the future. Many have told us they felt empowered by coming forward to the Truth Project, with some saying it was a real turning point in their life.
