If you do not have a claim against a Local Authority or other institution, you may still be able to claim compensation through the (CICA).
To make an application to the CICA you must show that a criminal act took place in the UK and that you are eligible to make a claim. The abuse must also have been reported to the police.
There are time limits for making a claim to the CICA, so you should not delay in seeking advice. For more information about criminal injury claims, please click here.
