The Redress Church of England Scheme has been established for victims and survivors of Church-related abuse. The Scheme aims to acknowledge the harm caused by abuse, recognise its impact on people’s lives, and provide meaningful forms of redress, including financial and non-financial outcomes where eligibility criteria are met.

You can read on the Redress Church of England web pages about how the Scheme will work, what applicants can expect at each stage of the process, and answers to frequently asked questions. It is intended as a guide for anyone considering an application, as well as for those supporting victims and survivors.
