Child sex abuse inquiry: victims with criminal records denied compensation

Feb 16,2020 3:45 am

The investigation, said, "The Suffering does not stop when the abuse ends"

Survivors of sexual abuse in nursing homes are cut, no compensation or payments, because she has found her own convictions in criminal proceedings, an investigation.

The Independent inquiry on child Sexual abuse (IICSA) is part of how a boy stole jewellery to Survive after escaping from a violent home care.

It meant, remuneration, years later, was cut in half.

The compensation scheme should be able to recognize abuse contributes to offending directly, the request said.

It was found that The Criminal and civil justice systems are not able to remedy for victims of abuse, often leaving you "retraumatised," and missing out on compensation.

"For the victims and survivors of sexual abuse, not to stop The Suffering when the abuse ends. In our investigation, we have found that The Criminal and civil court procedures for legal enforcement can be very frustrating, hostile, and ultimately in vain," says Professor Alexis Jay , the Chairman of the Committee of inquiry.

"Many are still left retraumatised and deeply dissatisfied with the often lengthy and complex litigation. "

the issues identified by the investigation Committee, The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) may refuse or claims reduce, if a victim of unspent convictions.

The investigation, said the CICA used to have the discretion, in whole or in reduced prices to people with certain criminal convictions, but was removed in 2012 because the government believed that publicly funded schemes should not benefit ex-offenders.

A man, abused as a child by two men in residential schools in the north-west of England, saw a payout of £ 12,000 reduced by half because of his own criminal record.

He of the investigation, said he had run away from the abuse and stole jewelry from a traveller family because he "needed to Survive ".

Paul Sinclair of the study: "children who are abused, said in care often go on to offend, because of the abuse"

Paul Sinclair, a survivor of abuse at Forde Park approved school in Devon, said he did not apply for compensation because of the rule on criminal records.

"I believe that children who are abused in the care to go often to offend, because of the abuse they suffered," he said.

Another victim said his request was rejected. "I couldn't understand how I could be denied compensation if the things that you were used against me, as a result of what he had done to me," he said.

Eight Men were convicted of crimes in the Forde Park school in Devon in the 1960s and 1970s,

The Ministry of justice launched a review of The Criminal compensation system and the investigation, said The Rules should be amended so that applications are automatically rejected if the victims' criminal records are likely to be linked to your abuse.

The request also said:

This report, on accountability and compensation, is one of the 14 for the investigation due to the ongoing investigation. It heard from 38 witnesses, including insurance, estate agents, lawyers, police officers and victims and the survivors.

It focuses on the five Central case studies of the abuse from the 1960s to The Present day: in the North Wales children's homes, Forde Park school in Devon, St Leonard's children's home in London, St Aidan's and St Vincent's children's homes in Cheshire and Merseyside, as well as Stanhope castle school in County Durham .
