PETER.MCPARLIN@MYPOSTOFFICE.CO.UK

I recently wrote to Gordon Brown to request the apology he made to child migrants sent to Australia and Canada from the 1920s to the 1960s be extended to children in care in this country at the time.

As one of those children in care at that time and now a consultant child psychologist I am personally and professionally aware of the decades of sexual, emotional and physical abuse.

The reply to my letter from his office made no such mention of an apology to what were the UK’s children, bereft of their own loving families. Rather, it only chanted the mantra of government safeguards today.

My disbelief, frustration and ruinous hope of gaining an apology has only been matched by Barnardo’s chief executive Martin Narey’s comment on Radio 4 that, as far as he and his organisation were concerned, to consider past abuse of our nation’s most vulnerable children is now idle concern.

He has failed to recognise, as other governments have recognised (witness Ireland and Australia), the impact an apology has in the healing and rebuilding so imperative in victims’ lives.

Letter: What about UK abuse victims?
By Dr Peter McParlin
Children & Young People Now
9 March 2010
Clearly if our Prime Minister can apologise for those we shipped away to former colonies to be abused in care he can also apologise for those left on UK soil who were abused.

I am launching a campaign called Nobody Says Sorry to bring about an apology to those who suffered all kinds of failures of the care system.

While the need for an apology is needed to quieten their damaged reflections of the past, it is also needed to restructure families and relationships, where parenting skills have been affected by abuse.
