About the Book

Review :
An important and in-depth analysis of one case among the many, involving members of the 'establishment', where child victims of sexual crime, adult survivors and those professionals supporting them have been silenced and denied justice. Dr Liz Davies, Emeritus Reader in Child Protection, London Metropolitan University. Few books have managed to get to the heart of a story of abuse as thoroughly and accurately as Abuse of Trust. Its message is a chilling reminder of how charismatic abusers like Beck and, indeed, Savile, were able to operate so effectively and for so long in the system despite countless warning signs. The question this begs: could this happen today? Christian Wolmar, journalist and author
