Baltic Triangle Event with Beatrix Campbell
On Wednesday the 29th of May join acclaimed journalist Beatrix Campbell at 54 St. James Street 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.
