🌿The child sexual abuse scandal in the English county of Cleveland in the 1980s was a defining moment but not the scandal we were led to believe it was.
🌿Beatrix Campbell has uncovered government documents that show how medical evidence of childhood rape identified by pioneering paediatricians was deemed credible but ‘dangerous’ – it was more important to save money than save children.
🌿This book reveals how this secret has framed policy making and public opinion and the consequences it has had for children, professionals, justice and the state.
🌿Our extended special Book Club event will give you the chance to talk with the author and ask questions as well as discuss the book with other members
