Child Abuse has an adverse impact on every aspect of life costing the economy £billions.
Child abuse may take place behind closed doors, but its impact spills out and affects all aspects of society long after it is perpetrated.
The long-term negative ramifications of childhood abuse upon society as a whole are both disruptive and expensive to resolve.
Without proper resolution the victims of abuse become shackled to “victim-hood” and the consequences of that. These problems continue, and often increase, generation after generation.
