ROB

Dear Nel,

Thanks for this and Chris I ask you to unserstand my 7 plus years of frustration.

Rob - there will be an event in my of 2025 and an invite will go out on this forum by Christmas. The invite explains my thought process - I need a line in the sand on the past and future.

Hi Mid A - any chance of a quick phone call? 075 990 557 45

Rob

I remember exactly what you remember. I just got unlucky and was sexually abused by Burr between 1969 & 1972.

The whole point of the May event is to allow anyone who feels that the impact of what happened to them at CH damaged their lives (not enhanced it).

I have done my best.

Dear Mr Cowley

Could you send me a short Private message and I will respond - I am computer ilitterate and can't work out how to send you one. Many thanks

Mr Blewitt - I am not a professional - I was a victim and I had no support. Over the last 7.5 years I manged to persuade CH to agree to the Statement that was issued publically with regards to the schools failures. I manged to get the school to agree a one off £3k payment to victims towards theropy ...

A line in the sand is simply to allow victims/survivors to come to terms with what happened to them and try to reconcile themselves to what was allowed to happen and did happen. It is not meant as the end of a victims thoughts or feelings - certainly not mine as a victim (note I do not consider ...

This is a very quick question: We are looking at an event at the school for victims, their families, freinds and colleagues to attend to form a 'line in the sand' and a reconciliation with regards to sexual abuse at the school.

Do you think that a) older pupils (+16) should be allowed to attend and ...

Thank you for these comments. Any mediation process is about compromise. It is not the best statement but it is the best that both sides could agree on. I am deeply aware of 'another' who dismissed allegations and deliberately and wilfully misled complainants. That person was a teacher at the school ...

Please be rest assured that the CPO involved in the Karim trial etc. will be made aware of the statement as will others who attempted to ensure that action was not taken against perpetrators and this from the entire period of 1969 - 2001. Action on this has already been undertaken. Rob

Thank you Julian - 5 and a half years of my life trying to get this real apology but I never gave up and nor did Chris. Perhaps to say 'in memory to Adrian Reith who was part of the process'. Rob - and thanks to so many others who contacted me and supported me through the process.

I have sent the following letter to the Diocese of Bristol re Cairncross: (the spelling works on the email)

Dear Sarah,

I have been provided with your email address by a person who was a former pupil at Christ's Hospital School where Elizabeth Cairncross was the first CPO.

He has asked that you ...

Firstly can I just thank you for those last two posts and to all who have posted on this subject and all the abuse subjects. I'm at present restricted as to what I can say but feel the aspect of those who stood by, whilst in a senior position, with regards to abuse of various sorts at CH is ...

Ben Breakwell has been sentenced for 17 years.

No - it was not listed so postponed but we don't know why or when or where!
