As part of the WS Society’s continuing agenda of events centred on fundamental human rights and the law, we are proud to launch the inaugural WS Abuse Law Symposium, which will address effective access to justice and remedies for survivors of abuse in Scotland. 

Building on the momentum of past legal conferences in personal injury law, the symposium, which will take place on 12 September 2023, is designed for legal practitioners and other professionals active in this sensitive and demanding area of practice.  

With a focus on trauma-informed advice, the programme includes updates from Julie Anne-Jamieson, Chief Executive of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and Joanna McCreadie, Chief Executive of the Redress for Survivors Scheme.  Bringing further perspective, we are pleased to have contributions from Assistant Chief Constable Bex Smith, Police Scotland and a medico-legal view from expert clinical psychologist, Professor Craig White.  The symposium is chaired by Kim Leslie WS, Digby Brown and sponsored by Digby Brown.  Booking opens soon.  For further information please contact Anna Bennett WS
