It can be a difficult decision to make, but for some abuse survivors, making a claim through the civil courts can be the only way to get some form of justice and recognition, particularly if the abuser was not convicted in a criminal court.
It’s not often about the compensation you’ll get in a civil claim, but any compensation you do receive should reflect as much as possible the pain and suffering you’ve been through and may still be going through now. It can also help you to get the treatment you need to help your recovery from the abuse you’ve suffered.
We’re happy to talk you through the claims process so you’re clear about what will happen and you’re under no obligation to make a claim. We want you to be comfortable with the process and with your Solicitor so get in touch for a free, no obligation conversation.
There are some other orders you may want to apply for at the same time as the Non-Molestation Order, depending on your circumstances. They are:
Occupation Order – if you are sharing a property with the respondent, this order can give you the right to stay in the property in the short term. It will exclude them from the property for a certain period of time whilst you sort out somewhere else to live
Prohibited Steps order – this order stops the respondent from taking the children from you

Hertfordshire County Council has agreed to conduct a detailed review of how it assesses children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), following a challenge from a father who disagreed with the council's decision not to assess his child. The review will closely examine how these assessments are done to find and fix any problems. This action follows recent reports and concerns about how councils across the country are handling similar assessments, often influenced by budget issues. This review is seen as a positive step towards improving support for children who need extra help.
