The IOPC’s Operation Netton investigation into South Yorkshire Police’s handling of historic child sexual exploitation in Rotherham has expanded to 24 investigations. Amy Clowrey explores what the latest update means for survivors and how Switalskis can support those considering a complaint or civil claim.

Former Merseyside Police officer, Ryan Theaker, has been convicted of rape, sexual assault and assault by penetration after a recording made by his victim provided compelling evidence of the abuse she experienced.

Switalskis are appealing for witnesses following the recent conviction of Roland Simmons from Chartham in Kent who was a staff member at Guestling House in Hastings.

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you're ever unable to make them yourself. This might be because of an accident, an illness or because you lose mental capacity later in life.

Switalskis specialist medical negligence solicitors have responded after a Care Quality Commission inspection (CQC) identified significant shortfalls in standards of care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.

If you are separating from a partner and need to make a legally binding agreement on financial matters or arrangements for children, the court will usually require you to pursue family mediation.

Former West Yorkshire teacher Keith Lockwood has had his prison sentence increased following further convictions for historic child sexual abuse against former pupils. Switalskis represents a number of survivors of Lockwood’s abuse.

The case, currently before the courts, involves allegations made by several women who reported they were subjected to sexual abuse as children. The nine defendants were arrested in July and released on conditional bail.
