The Church of England’s interim support scheme has just marked its first anniversary and is part of the Church’s recognition that harm has been caused by both that abuse itself, and the Church’s responses to survivors.
The Scheme is intended to give immediate help and support to survivors whose life circumstances are significantly affected by the abuse suffered, and the response to it. The Scheme is designed to address immediate and urgent needs that help in the short-term to put the survivor’s life back on track. This Scheme is not intended to provide compensation or restitution to survivors, nor is it a redress scheme, which is a longer term project now underway and as recommended by IICSA.
The Scheme is open to applications. Detailed information about the Scheme and how you can apply can be found here. The updated Terms of Reference for the scheme are published here.
