Victims and survivors
Victims and survivors make an important contribution to the work of the Inquiry by sharing their experiences.
All experiences shared will contribute to our findings and recommendations.
The Truth Project is part of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), which was set up in 2015 to investigate organisations and institutions that have failed to protect children from sexual abuse.
The Truth Project
The Inquiry's Truth Project gives us an opportunity for you to share your experience and views with the Inquiry in a safe and confidential way.
By encouraging victims and survivors to come forward we hope to better understand the scale, breadth and nature of child sexual abuse, in an effort to help stop it happening in the future.
Experiences Shared
These are some of the experiences of child sexual abuse shared with the Truth Project. All names and identifying details have been changed.
The Victims and Survivors Forum
The Victims and Survivors Forum is open to all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. It was set up to make it easier for victims and survivors to engage with us, ask questions and make suggestions about how we work.
Victims and Survivors Consultative Panel
The Victims and Survivors Consultative Panel (VSCP) provides advice to the Inquiry. Panel members have all spent many years supporting adult survivors of child sexual abuse and helping survivors to be heard. They ensure that the needs and perspectives of victims and survivors are reflected in the Inquiry’s on-going work.
