EA SURVIVORS

SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF SCHOOL AND CHILDHOOD ABUSE

We are here to help anyone who was abused in the past at The Edinburgh Academy as well as those from other schools or residential care backgrounds. 

The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry is ongoing and still open. If you would like advice on giving evidence, from those who already have, please get in touch

If you are from the media and would like an interview or more information please message using the contact page below.

There are now 140+ men and women in our group, from a variety of schools around the UK. Feel free to make contact and we may be able to connect you with others.

There is an EA WhatsApp group, and a multi-school one called “Justice Support”.

We have a renowned pro-bono legal adviser who has kindly offered support on a personal basis.

We also offer our assistance and experience to other survivors of abuse in childhood care of any kind.

Our latest 2005 report is hosted by Seen&Heard. Link here: https://seenheard.org.uk/ea-survivors-2025-report-scai-failings-justice-reform/

We have direct contacts with the Police in Scotland and England investigating non-recent abuse of children in care and will help point you in the right direction.

EA Survivors and Justice Support are not commercial enterprises and will never ask you for money for any support provided.

GET IN TOUCH – We cannot assist people using aliases or fake email addresses – all contact is totally confidential but must be transparent for the safety of all. Thank you.
