Clear Path UK Conference

An event to heal the divide between those who have experienced abuse and professionals working to protect us.

Clear Path UK (CIC) is a coalition of survivor lead services who are pooling resources and research to create legislation and educated abuse reform.

To fix a problem, we believe we must first acknowledge it and discover its root causes. 

“We must stop pulling people out of the water. We must go upstream and find out why they are falling in.” - Desmond Tutu
