Pro Bono: Justice & Care

Pro Bono: Justice & Care

Overview

Justice & Care is an organisation that supports survivors of human trafficking and abuse. Our work with Justice & Care involves assisting vulnerable individuals to submit a compensation claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) in relation to the physical and mental injuries the have suffered at the hands of their perpetrators. 

This process allows survivors of abuse and trafficking to obtain financial compensation and acknowledgement of the harm they have suffered without having to initiate lengthy and often costly civil proceedings against their assailant.

£22,000
A recent success involved our client being awarded compensation of £22,000.

We work closely with our clients to produce comprehensive witness statements and packs of documentary evidence to support their applications. The clients we work with are particularly vulnerable and we work hard to avoid retraumatising them during the application process, including in some cases putting together an all-female legal team.

A recent success involved our client being awarded compensation of £22,000. Whilst no amount of money could fully compensate our client for the effects of abuse she has suffered, this amount of money is lifechanging for her. Our client requires ongoing medical treatment as a result of the abuse she suffered, much of which she would still be unable to fund without the compensation that has been awarded to her.
