BBC Newsnight aired a special programme which looked at child sexual abuse and exploitation entitled 'A Nation's Shame: Grooming Survivors Speak'.

At Switalskis, we represent hundreds of survivors of child sexual exploitation (CSE) across the country. Many of their stories reveal not only the horror of the abuse they suffered, but the institutional failures that allowed it to continue—unchecked and unchallenged—for far too long.

Our child abuse compensation team have recently represented Fiona, a survivor of child sexual exploitation and grooming in West Yorkshire. Her case forms part of a broader pattern of abuse that targeted vulnerable children in Keighley during the 1990s.

On Tuesday 13 May 2025, three men convicted of child sexual offences in Keighley had their sentences increased by the Court of Appeal after they were found to be unduly lenient.

Switalskis is proud to share that Amy Clowrey, Director and specialist child sexual abuse solicitor, was featured in a Sunday Times investigation published over the weekend.

Amy Clowrey speaks out about child grooming in a Channel 4 production being aired tonight (April 30) at 9pm. Amy hopes leaders are listening and it sparks meaningful change.

Our client, referred to as YZ, was involved in child sexual exploitation and grooming in Rotherham. Her sister was also murdered in an honour killing making this particular case incredibly sensitive and harrowing and our client very vulnerable.

This is the case of AB, who was involved in child sexual exploitation and grooming in Rotherham, from approximately 11 years of age.
