Episode 98 - Matt V Scouts with Matthew Barker

Matt joins Madi to discuss the sexual abuse he endured as a child at the hands of a Scout leader, the subsequent years of coping, healing and moving through to court system. As well as how we can support Matt v Scouts in his fight for justice now.

Despite Matt’s abuser pleading guilty to charges of child sexual abuse, Matt is now facing bankruptcy for trying to hold Scouts NSW to account. Matt needs your help to continue his legal battle with Scouts NSW.

Matt needs your support so other survivors can seek justice too.

A win for Matt would set an important precedent that survivors could rely upon when seeking compensation from the organisations that failed to protect them from child sexual abuse. The costs order would be overturned, and all donated funds will be paid to other charities and organisations which support victims of sexual abuse.

This was a truly amazing conversation, one that was so insightful and that will go so many a feeling of comfort to listen to, as so man will hear themselves in this.
