CHILDREN being subjected to sexual abuse is too horrific for many of us to contemplate. Yet, as has been highlighted in the media recently, it can be taking place in schools, religious, sporting or other institutions, as well as within families. Understandably the trauma means it can take many survivors a number of years to come forward. Yet, incredibly, we still have a law in England and Wales that children who have been subjected to sexual abuse only have until three years after their 18th birthday to make a compensation claim relating to that abuse. The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), of which I am a member, is calling for that time limit to be abolished, just like it was in Scotland in 2017.
