The harrowing findings of this report confirm how hard it is for victims of child sexual abuse to be heard.

CARI’s Response to Jimmy Savile Reports
The publication of reports on Jimmy Savile are truly shocking and troubling. The fact that his abusive and criminal behaviour went on in full view and that victims complaints were ignored adds to the scandal. Even today, we need to ensure that in organisations as small as CARI or as large as the BBC, staff are trained and supported, and our child protection policies are robust and followed in all care settings.
