A West Yorkshire family has spoken of the devastating impact a violent care home attack has had on their lives, after a man was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court for attempted murder.

Sarah Myatt joined Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt and journalist Helen Fospero on an exclusive true crime podcast ‘True Criminals’. The episode, ‘Wrongfully Convicted: The Peter Sullivan Story’ discusses the recent quashed conviction of Peter Sullivan, the UK’s longest serving victim of a miscarriage of justice.

Switalskis Solicitors has welcomed the decision by South Yorkshire Police (SYP) to transfer its investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse, corruption, and the facilitation of abuse by former officers to the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Switalskis has added two new directors to its acclaimed medical negligence team, enhancing its ability to support clients across East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the North East.

Sarah Myatt, Solicitor Advocate and legal representative for Peter Sullivan, has spoken to Phil McCann at the BBC about the government’s proposed uplift in compensation for victims of miscarriages of justice.

Switalskis child abuse compensation team has been working with survivors of the Rotherham grooming scandal for over a decade. During that time, our solicitors have repeatedly heard allegations not only of abuse by local gangs but also by South Yorkshire Police officers.

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.
