We place a lot of trust in those that work and volunteer with children. Sports clubs have a responsibility to ensure that abusers do not take advantage of this trust and that children are safe from abuse.
If you or your child has been abused while attending a sports club, we could help you claim compensation from those responsible. Our specialist child abuse lawyers have been helping abuse survivors for almost two decades and approach every case with sensitivity, support and the utmost confidentiality.
High profile cases in the media have highlighted abuse at football clubs but child abuse could happen at any kind of sports clubs including tennis clubs, cricket clubs, swimming clubs or rugby clubs. It can also happen at all levels of sport, from local village teams to professional clubs. Even if the abuse happened years ago, you may still be able to claim.
It's perfectly normal to have doubts about making a compensation claim, with worries about facing an abuser in court chief among them. In our experience, the vast majority of claims are settled out of court and we will work hard to achieve an out-of-court settlement in your case. If you do have to appear in court, we'll be there to represent and support you at every step of the way.
If you're the parent or guardian of a child who has been abused, or a survivor of abuse yourself, please call us on 0800 022 3503 or contact us online for a free consultation about your case.
