Emma was arrested and wrongly accused. SignHealth’s Advocacy service helped her fight the false charges.
Truth Project
Recent changes to the service
Due to COVID-19 measures the inquiry has taken the difficult decision to stop holding face to face Truth Project sessions at this time. Other methods of sharing, including the addition of a videolink option, are available.
“Getting a better picture of the past will help build a safer place for children now and in the future.”
As part of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, The Truth Project will help the panel recommend changes to better protect children in the future.
How does SignHealth support participants?
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, the Truth Project can offer a face-to-face session with a team who will communicate with you in the way you choose, for example in BSL, lip-speaking and SSE. Most of the team are Deaf and we can offer a choice of male and female team members. You can also choose to have a session with a hearing team through interpretation.
SignHealth can provide information and support for anybody considering participating via WhatsApp, text message, video call or email.
Participants can then choose to share their experiences in writing or attend a private session at any of the Inquiry’s offices across the country. All transport costs are met and the process is entirely free; you are also welcome to bring hearing dogs or support animals.
Two anonymous accounts submitted to the Truth Project…
