Milestones

Fund: At least 12 months of fully-funded specialist trauma therapy Access to funded therapeutic retreats Ring-fenced personal funding (housing, debt, education, etc.) Oversight by an independent Survivors’ Panel with real power Automatic, non-means-tested support via a dedicated national fund

Thousands of UK children were raped and trafficked by grooming gangs while authorities failed to protect them. Inquiries (Rotherham, Telford, Rochdale etc.) exposed systemic betrayal. Survivors now face lifelong severe PTSD, yet most get little or no specialist help and wait years for inadequate therapy. The state failed them once — it must not fail them again. Only the government can create a dedicated fund to guarantee proper care.
