VOICE for Victims campaigner Zibby Yates will hit the streets today to drum up island support in favour of positive changes for those affected by child sex abuse.

A CAMPAIGN aimed at promoting the rights of those affected by child sexual abuse is launched today by the Guernsey Press.

One in five children will have experienced sexual abuse by the time they reach adulthood. Zibby Yates was one of them and carried the secret for almost two decades. Now she is spearheading a new campaign aimed at building on Guernsey’s determination to tackle such abuse – and give victims a voice. Nicci Martel reports.

CHILD abuse should be reported to Health and Social Services or Guernsey Police first – not the NSPCC – to avoid ‘dangerous delays’, an HSSD spokesman has said.

THE NSPCC is urging people in Guernsey to report any concerns they may have about children during the summer holidays.

IN THE week since our front-page story revealed that the Court of Appeal had slashed a paedophile’s sentence there has been an understandably emotional reaction from a shocked community.

AN OPEN sex offenders’ register could spur on vigilantes and drive criminals underground, the Home minister has claimed.

VICTIMS of sexual abuse will take comfort from a new sex offenders register, campaigners have said.

A SEX offenders register would be operated on a ‘need to know’ basis, under proposals by the Home Department.

BRAVERY comes in many forms and today we see an example of a very personal kind of courage on our centre pages.
