Beatrix Campbell: Secrets and Silence

Admission £8
Start Time 18:30
End Time 20:30

Join acclaimed journalist Beatrix Campbell as she reveals untold truths and hidden government agendas in her latest book, Secrets and Silence: Uncovering the Legacy of the Cleveland Child Sex Abuse Case.

In 1987, the Cleveland Child Sex Abuse scandal shook the UK as 121 children were removed from their parents care due to allegations of sexual abuse made by two paediatricians at the Middlesbrough Hospital. The scandal was a defining moment in child safety legislation. However, it was not the scandal we were led to believe it was. Beatrix Campbell’s Secrets and Silence: Uncovering the Legacy of the Cleveland Child Sex Abuse Case, empowers unheard voices of those who were embroiled in the scandal and shares their stories in their own words.

Beatrix will be in conversation with Liz Kelly, British professor and director of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit, London Metropolitan University.
