Types of Physical Abuse
There are many different categories of abuse, separated by the nature of the abuse and the nature of the victim, such as abuse towards children and vulnerable adults. When making a claim, you have the option of claiming against the person responsible for the abuse, or the organisations that allowed it to happen.
These organisations include:
- Schools
- Care homes
- The church
- Local authorities
- Children’s homes
Claims for physical abuse or assault can be made for:
- The abuse or assault itself
- Psychological damage caused by the abuse or assault
- Remuneration for the cost of (physical and/or psychological) therapy following abuse
