Re: Self Help Group for Survivors of Abuse at CH

I feel so excited and privileged that we are about to start this. So many of us suffered alone for years. I hope this next group is a healing experience for all.

Self Help Group for Survivors of Abuse at CH

Hi and Happy New Year, I’m really pleased to announce that we are planning a 2nd self help group (SHG) to start in February. The first SHG went really well, beyond expectations, and there are some people who’d like to repeat the group, and others who couldn’t join the first time, but would like to n...

My experience of visiting CH after the abuse

I visited CH over the summer to see if it would trigger my PTSD again, and I made a video of my experience in case it's of benefit to anyone else who has been avoiding visiting. Trigger warning, I do mention some of the abuse, but I mainly talk about the easier to digest stuff. https://youtu.be/Hede...

Re: Elizabeth Cairncross

Hi, I just found this thread after googling Cairncross today after I saw she liked 8 of my tweets today! I have a few thoughts: 1) At CH in the 80's and 90's, I experienced sexual, physical and psychological abuse, that resulted in PTSD. 2) I also, like some others, often went without food, and even...

Re: Independent expert mediator

Thanks Chris for this. I have spoken with Lia, and thought she did a very good job of listening. I'd like to pass on the message to other Old Blues, is there a website link we can refer them to?

Re: Corporal Punishment......

In Peele B between 1987-89 (and possibly 90), crackings (as I seem to remember calling them) were common. I remember there being 3 types: 1) The staff on duty (although I only remember Flemming doing it) would administer them in the dormitory in front of the the other boys. Mr. Flemming would ask w...

Re: Beating Retreat - 1992

HI, did anyone manage to do this?
If not, I have facilities to do this, and would also love to be able to get a copy (I think I was a drummer that year in the retreat).

Re: How Different Was Your Home Life From Your CH Life?

I came from a large council estate in London, where my head teacher told me I should go to Christ's Hospital because then my Mum wouldn't have to struggle financially with raising me. I went, and my accent was constantly made fun of until I adapted a more middle class/public school boy accent. I ver...
