Abuse in Sports or Youth Clubs
Parents are often keen to encourage their children to get involved in a whole range of sporting and leisure activities.
Many organisations now have extensive safeguarding measures in place to try and protect those attending. This has not always been the case.
As Child Abuse Lawyers we have dealt with and are continuing to deal with cases where individuals have been abused as children or as teenagers when attending sporting clubs and youth organisations.
Our Specialist Solicitors at Jordans have successfully recovered compensation for abuse by leaders, tutors, teachers and football and other sports coaches. Where a person is employed or given the responsibility for teaching, coaching, tutoring or leading others by a Company/Organisation or Local Authority and that person abuses their position and commits an act of abuse or assault a claim may be possible.
