In recent years, the UK government has taken steps to address the issue of historical abuse in care homes. Survivors of abuse in care homes now have access to a redress scheme that offers them financial compensation for the trauma they have suffered. This is a welcome step forward in providing justice to those who have been wronged. A team of CIH solicitors are highly experienced in their respective fields, and are able to provide expert advice and representation to ensure that our clients’ legal needs are met.

The scheme was created in response to the cases of historical abuse that have come to light in recent years. These cases have drawn attention to the need to ensure that the victims of abuse are provided with the justice and redress they deserve. Under the scheme, those who have been affected by abuse in care homes can apply for financial compensation. The amount of compensation will depend on the severity of the abuse that the individual suffered, and it will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The scheme is open to those who have been affected by abuse that occurred before the end of March 2021. This means that those who have suffered abuse in the past can now access the redress they need. It is also open to those who have been affected by abuse that occurred in the care homes of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The scheme is a welcome step towards providing justice to those who have suffered abuse in care homes. It is an important step forward in ensuring that those who have been wronged are provided with the compensation they deserve.
