THE CLEAR PATH JOURNEY

Claire Louise Chamberlain is a survivor of childhood trauma and abuse. In adult life she followed the pattern of many victims, entering into further abusive situations and relationships. After escaping her final abuser, Claire found herself unable to access support and was continuously retraumatised by the services designed to help.

After finding a way to heal for herself and her children, Claire discovered that the majority of victims escaping abuse suffer from debilitating trauma-induced issues. On top of this, the average waiting list for mental health support on the NHS is 2 years long. Should there be a criminal investigation, survivors are advised not to seek therapy until after the trial due to witness testimonials being diminished. This negatively impacts the survivor and their children. Unhealed trauma has a deep negative impact on entire families for generations. 

Claire decided that no one who has suffered abuse should be forced to choose between healing and justice for the crimes committed against them.

In response to these issues, she created The Four Cornerstones of Healing, a 10-week, trauma-informed abuse healing programme, which enables survivors to access healing tools that are otherwise inaccessible; this means that they can understand and manage their triggers, take back control of their lives and flourish beyond the trauma and abuse. It is free for survivors of abuse through Clear Path UK.

Claire also created the award-winning Clear Path UK Conference to raise awareness for this and to give a platform to other survivors’ to inspire, educate and empower. Speakers and contributors included Lisa Surridge (HMICFRS), Natalie Page (The Court Said), Jeremy Indika (Something to Say), Pinky McLean-Knight, (TikToks 'Aunty Pinky' and deputy Mayor of Newhaven) and Rosie Watson (DAA). During the planning of the conference, the team formed a think tank, pooled resources, and shared research in an effort to discover the best solutions to tackling the epidemic of abuse nationwide.

Clear Path UK CIC was formed and now provides resources to abuse sector professionals and organisations, while offering free access to support services for survivors.

Our Mission

A 2021 investigation by HMICFRS concluded that laws and regulations designed to stop perpetrators in their tracks, protect members of the public from abuse, and support victims who are affected, were not being adhered to, or applied consistently. This has resulted in a post-code lottery of justice, prevention, and protection. Where someone lives within the UK, should not determine the quality of services available.

As a result, our organisation was born, to create the framework and campaign for a regulatory body to oversee all organisations and professionals dealing with abuse, and with prevention rather than the current reactive approach at its core.

Our mission, to ensure the consistent application of these laws and regulations nationwide, while providing the resources, research and training to make it possible.

Learn More

Prevent

Prevention must be at the core of any approach to abuse in the UK. The current reactive processes aren't working.

Trust

Clear, transparent and decisive action must be at the forefront of everything we do if we expect the public to trust us.

Acknowledge

Without full acknowledgment of the root causes and issues around abuse in the UK, how can we expect to find the right solutions?

Heal

Healing those affected with adequate and consistent support must be the priority to lessen the impact on future generations.
