As part of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, the Truth Project is inviting victims and survivors to come forward and share their experience of child sexual abuse with the Project’s trained facilitators.
To share your experience and to put forward your recommendations for change, you can contact the Truth Project via their online form. Alternatively, you can contact the Truth Project by phone, email or post. You’ll find the Project’s contact details online.
The organisation will then get back in touch with you and you will be invited to share your experience in a private session with a facilitator, either by phone or in person. The facilitator will not challenge you or judge anything you say. All of the Truth Project’s facilitators are experienced in working with victims and survivors. You can find out more about what to expect via the Truth Project’s website.
The Inquiry is particularly keen to hear from young people because it believes younger victims and survivors can offer insights about the nature of new threats, like online grooming. The Inquiry also believes young people can share their experiences of current support services available to children.
