It happened when I was a child

If you were sexually assaulted when you were a child, it was not your fault.

If you were assaulted in an institution (like church or a children’s home) you may be able to access payment through the National Redress Scheme.

Assistance can include counselling, a direct personal response and apology, and a compensation payment.
