    Hi very sorry to hear that.

    You will need to seek expert advise on this matter.

    I suggest that you speak to an expert in this field who will be able to give you the advice that you need.

    Your biggest hurdle will likely be time limits placed on claiming any sort of redress due to the fact that this all happened so long ago.

    if youโ€™re in a union they may be able to provide legal advice. Mine did. Try your local welfare right advisory organisation. People have sometimes got legal cover on their house insuranceโ€ฆ

    Hi @videbe and welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear about what you went through. I'd definitely agree with members. Seeking professional legal might be the best route forward.

    Please let us know how you get on though. I wish you all the best with it.

    Best wishes,
