Three more survivors speak out here to @BBCNews about their abuse in Oldham, one of whom is being supported by @TMOFCharity What isn’t made clear here is that in the 2022 local enquiry set up by @MayorofGM Andy Burnham, only ONE survivor’s voice was permitted to be heard by the review team. And it wasn’t any of these three survivors. As I’ve said previously, unlike in The Augusta (Manchester) review 2020, and The Rochdale Review, 2024, I had not worked on any child abuse cases in Oldham whilst in @gmpolice and therefore back then, had no way of contacting them, unlike in the other cases. I was finally allowed to take the only only Oldham survivor I knew to speak to them and her account was consequently included. But that was the ONLY one. And even more shocking was that @OldhamCouncil had told the review team that under no circumstances must this survivor be approached for fear she may commit suicide if they did, which was a total lie. Power in the hands of the wrong people is very dangerous, and I think this story shows how the voices of those who have a right to be heard have been silenced for many years. And they are,finally, finding their voices, being heard, and fighting back….. And all credit to them all! Xx bbc.com/news/articles/c93qpl…
