At Simpson Millar, our specialist Abuse Solicitors have been supporting survivors of childhood abuse across England and Wales for many years. We advise people who have experienced abuse in a wide range of settings, including schools, care homes, foster care, religious organisations, sports clubs, youth organisations and other institutions, as well as those considering claims against an individual.
Our team advises on the legal options that may be available, including civil compensation claims and applications to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). We offer a range of funding options, including Legal Aid and No Win No Fee arrangements where appropriate.
We understand that people seek legal advice for many different reasons. Some want to understand their legal rights, some wish to pursue compensation, while others want answers or accountability from those responsible. Whatever your reason for getting in touch, our role is to provide clear, practical legal advice so you can make an informed decision about your next steps.
Civil compensation claims: We represent survivors in civil claims against organisations and individuals in respect of both recent and non-recent abuse. We bring claims in respect of the following:
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) claims: We advise survivors on applications for compensation to the CICA, including eligibility and appeals where appropriate.
Our Child Abuse Solicitors have a national reputation for being compassionate, caring, and driven to get survivors the compensation they need to move forward. Members of our team have advised on national inquiries and are proud members of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers (ACAL) and follow its Code of Conduct.

We recognise that speaking about abuse can be distressing and that every survivor’s experience is different. Our team works in a compassionate, trauma-informed way, giving you time to tell your story in your own words and at your own pace.
We understand that you may not remember every detail immediately, and there is no expectation that you will. We explain the legal process clearly, avoid unnecessary legal jargon and keep you informed throughout. We also recognise that legal support is only one part of recovery and, where appropriate, can signpost you to specialist organisations offering practical and emotional support.
