Child abuse. Finding a solicitor

[Ballerina123]

My friend was abused on a mental health ward by a mental health nurse. How does she find the right solicitor?

Thanks

Depending on the seriousness of the allegation, I'd contact PALS and they'd assist with the situation. If it was very serious and your friend believes others may be at risk then contact the police immediately. Also complain to the NMC (the people who govern nurses and can strike them off). Hope this helps somewhat.

She'd need to ring the police first. A solicitor can't really do anything unless the crime has been reported. PALS are also a good place to start.
