What is Institutional Abuse?
Institutional abuse refers to the mistreatment or neglect of individuals within organizations responsible for their care. This can include schools, religious institutions, care homes, and other organizations. Abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, or involve neglect. If you have experienced abuse within an institution, it is crucial to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.
Know Your Rights and Responsibilities
You may be able to seek compensation for the harm you have suffered. Institutions have a duty of care to those they are responsible for. If this duty of care is breached, you may be able to seek compensation.
