Witness appeal to support victims abused by former Hainault Primary School teacher


Our specialist sexual abuse solicitors at Hugh James are investigating allegations that a teacher, John Bartlett, sexually abused pupils at Hainault Primary School.

Bartlett was apparently cautioned by the police in the 1980’s for indecently assaulting pupils at the school. We act for 4 former pupils of the former Hainault Primary School.

The culture at the time of the abuse was not to speak out about child abuse. We frequently see survivors who are only able to speak out about the abuse they suffered years after it took place especially when there has been a period of grooming from a person in a position of trust.

If you were a former pupil and you too were sexually assaulted by Bartlett, and are willing to assist or would like to have an informal discussion, please contact Alan Collins on 07527329970 or [email protected]
