Step 1 Is the Truth Project right for you?

The Truth Project wants to understand how organisations have failed to protect children from sexual abuse. 

It might be that you were sexually abused by someone in an organisation, such as a church, or when you were in care. Or you may have been abused at home, and let down by someone in authority who knew or should have known about the abuse, such as a social worker or a police officer.

Step 2 Why your experience matters

By taking part in the Truth Project, you will help us make recommendations to the government and organisations on how to help protect children in the future.

Step 3 Help and support

We know it’s not easy to share experiences of child sexual abuse. If you feel it would be helpful, we can provide a dedicated support worker while you are involved with the Truth Project. 

Whatever you decide about support, you can change your mind at any time and opt in or out of our service. 

Step 4 Asking for your consent

If you decide to share your experience with the Truth Project, we will ask you to give your consent to the ways we may use the information you give us. We will never publish any personal information about you.

Step 5 Keeping your information confidential and secure

We understand you might be concerned about your privacy and what will happen to the information you give us.

You don’t have to give us any information that identifies you. All we need to know is the name you would like us to call you and how we can contact you.
