There's a new lobbying group formed by survivors of abuse and cover-up in private schools, to oppose the government's feeble new legislation on behalf of children today in all care situations, private and state. Please share and add your voice. voicesunbound.org.uk

I’m one of a group of survivors of violent and sexual abuse while children at school. As reported in The Guardian we reject the government's ‘mandatory reporting’ amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill. Please lend us your voice in support👇👀!

“People were living here, they were sheltering here, they felt safe here in this UNRWA facility. They were given next to no notice to evacuate and had to leave almost immediately.' Louise Wateridge
