We’re thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for three awards at the upcoming Yorkshire Legal Awards 2026.

The Government has announced that people convicted of rape, serious child sexual offences and grooming offences will be excluded from planned changes to prison sentences under the Sentencing Act 2026.

Thirteen survivors of child sexual exploitation are travelling to Downing Street today to urge Prime Minister Andy Burnham to rethink the Sentencing Act as a matter of urgency. They warn that proposals to release some serious offenders early are having a devastating impact on survivors’ mental health and sense of safety.

Child abuse solicitor and director Amy Clowrey appeared on BBC Breakfast alongside her client, Sarah Wilson, this morning to discuss the government's decision to pause plans that could have seen some prisoners released earlier than expected.

Switalskis has welcomed this week's Parliamentary debate on changes to the Sentencing Act, saying it is encouraging to see MPs recognising the impact that the early release of offenders convicted of sexual offences can have on survivors.

Survivors of the Rochdale grooming gangs have once again been left feeling unheard and unprotected, after learning through social media that ringleader Shabir Ahmed is due to be released from prison within days.

For survivors of sexual abuse, the criminal justice process is often long, painful and deeply challenging.

Specialist maternity experts and medical negligence solicitors at Switalskis say a damning report into the care of babies and families at Nottingham University Hospitals’ (NUH) NHS Trust is a clarion call for urgent action to improve services to prevent future harm.
