Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
If you suffered abuse during childhood, or if you’re a parent or carer working on behalf of a child who has been abused, it’s only natural that you want what happened to be acknowledged and for justice to be done.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for child abuse claims. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to child abuse, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Child Abuse Cases With Expertise And Sensitivity
Money can never entirely erase the distress caused by sexual, physical or emotional abuse. Even so, financial compensation can help victims of child abuse to rebuild and improve the quality of their lives.
Regardless of the time since the abuse happened, it’s worth contacting Irwin Mitchell.
We may be able to bring a child abuse claim against:
- The person who abused you, or
- The organisation that employed your abuser.

Your experience will be treated with total confidentiality and respect. We’ll give you a totally honest assessment of your chances of bringing a successful child abuse claim - free of charge. If we can, we’ll help you to secure the justice that plays such an important part of the healing process.
