Who can make a claim to Dilworth School?

Who can make a claim

Making a claim can bring up a range of emotions. We have suggestions of where you can find support during this process.

You are eligible for redress from the Dilworth Trust Board under the Terms of the Dilworth Redress Programme,  if you have been a student of Dilworth School, and while you were a student, you experienced:  

• physical or sexual abuse from: 
  • someone representing the school or
  • someone who had access to you, through a representative of the school  
• sexual abuse from another Dilworth student. 

You can also make a claim on behalf of a deceased whānau member who experienced abuse as a student at the school if you are their legal representative.  

Being their legal representative means you are the executor of their will, or the administrator of their estate (if they died without a will).
