In this episode of the HJ Talks About Abuse podcast, hosts Danielle and Hannah delve into the crucial topic of the Northern Ireland Redress Scheme, which is set to close on April 2, 2025. They discuss the scheme's significance, covering cases from 1922 to 1995, and emphasise the importance of applying before the deadline.
The hosts explore the nuances of the scheme, including eligibility criteria and the range of compensation available, which spans from £10,000 to £80,000. They highlight the scheme's unique aspects, such as its coverage of the Australian Child Migrant Program and the possibility for applications on behalf of deceased individuals who were in institutions.
Danielle and Hannah also share insights on how to navigate the application process with the help of a solicitor, stressing the importance of spreading awareness so that eligible individuals don't miss out. They encourage listeners to reach out for guidance and to consider the potential benefits of applying, even for cases involving bullying or lesser-known abuses.
Listeners are urged to contact the Hugh James team for further assistance and to ensure they don't miss this critical opportunity for redress. Tune in to learn more about how this scheme could impact you or someone you know.
