Barnardo's (one of our marvellous partners in the We Believe You campaign) is launching a petition today aimed at stopping the legal system making judgements about young people that that lead to them either not being believed, or being made to feel that the abuse they?ve experienced is their fault.
Aimed at the Lord Chief Justice, the petition calls for sexually exploited children, whatever their age, to never be treated as if the abuse is their fault. And for our legal system to remember that in child sexual exploitation cases, the victim is a child.
The Sentencing Review Council is currently reviewing its sentencing guidelines for sexual offences cases, so this is a great moment to let them know what you think.
So, if you agree, do please sign the petition and look at this page for more information about the campaign.
Thanks
