33. Jo Brittan. Sexual abuse and entitlement in the english public school system

Jo is a remarkable woman who has led an extraordinary life. Many would see her as being highly privileged but her description and understanding of the pain experienced by little children left in boarding school is painful to hear. She also speaks out about the sexual abuse which took place in Sherborne Prep School, in particular but not only, and how nobody was held to account despite the evidence.

 

"I guess you could describe me as a campaigner for justice for Boarding School CSA Survivors. 2009 to date. Calling for the urgent introduction of Mandatory Reporting of CSA in UK which most of the the rest of the world has had for some time.  You can see in Mandate Now https://mandatenow.org.uk/

 

Australia are setting a great example whilst U.K. drags its heels like a petulant child.

 

Sherborne is an excellent example of how a microcosm society with a Prep and 2 single sex Public Schools effectively covers up CSA (in the case of Lindsays) for over 100 years and it is very like the total abuse of power by Establishment in Jersey.  Absolutely horrific!  Money and power always prioritised over children’s lives forever."
