CEO attends round table at 10 Downing Street

Today our CEO, Fay Maxted OBE, attended a roundtable at Downing Street hosted by Home Secretary, the RtHon Priti Patel MP, and the Lord Chancellor, the RT HON Robert Buckland QC MP. They wanted to hear about the consultations on the Victim's Code and Victim's Law and victim engagement in the criminal justice system.

There was fantastic input from the Survivors who attended and chance to highlight need for the right support at the right time!

Please get the law changed that allows child abusers to change their name online in 15 mins and carry on with their evil ways. Nobody who has committed a crime least of all a crime against a child, should be allowed to change their name in 15 mins then move on to another area so not to be tracked. I saw this on the news yesterday, no survivor of childhood neglect, abuse and rape should have to hear that it is that easy for people like that to just get away with their crimes by changing their name. I am still in shock today which is why i have written this message. I have been intouch with the survivors trust recently and sometimes look on the site for strength and support. So thought tst site is the best place for my comment above
