Victims and Survivors' Forum

The Forum was open to all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. We currently have more than 1,700 members across England and Wales from diverse backgrounds. The Forum will come to an end when the Inquiry closes later this year and is no longer accepting new registrations.

Being part of the Forum provided an opportunity to engage with the Inquiry and contribute to its research, policy and engagement work. Summary reports relating to consultations with Forum members can be read here. 

The Forum has given me a safe space to discuss important issues and have my voice heard. It has also given me the chance to listen to other victims and survivors and feel empowered .
