“After Claire came on my ‘Liberte, Free to be’ Podcast, I was blown away by her dedication and huge amount of work that still needs to be done. I’m delighted to be presenting this years event and helping to shine a light on such a much needed conversation.
I am looking forward to show casing a beautiful dress being generously donated by Blonde and Wise. Collaboration is a fantastic way to raise awareness.”

CPUK Conference story
An event to heal the divide between those who have experienced abuse and professionals working to protect us.
Clear Path UK (CIC) is a coalition of survivor lead services who are pooling resources and research to create legislation and educated abuse reform.
To fix a problem, we believe we must first acknowledge it and discover its root causes.
“We must stop pulling people out of the water. We must go upstream and find out why they are falling in.” - Desmond Tutu
At Clear Path UK we now know why. We have also identified realistic, achievable solutions.
With prevention, action, trust, and healing at the core of everything we do, we aim to revolutionise the way abuse is tackled in the UK and engineer a progressive, achievable and sustainable system.
Over the last few years our event has highlighted issues and concerns from across the public and abuse sectors, headlining high profile speakers such as Lisa Surridge (National VAWG taskforce, Natalie Page (Survivor Family Network), Clare Waters (British psychological society), Jeremy Indika (Something to Say), Eve Horne (The Unheard) and Fiona Millar (Watford Womens Centre).
Since we formed, we have campaigned and gained the support of public figures and officials such as MP Andrew Bowie, Dame Eleanor Laing, Fiona Kennedy, Nadeem Shaikh, and Chris Luff MBE.
This time, we’re expanding our conference to a full two-day event, and taking our resources and campaign to Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Our story will be told through the collective voices of influencers, survivors, and professionals in the field, to inspire, educate and empower.
Each talk will have an element of lived experience, wider societal issues, and a call to action for services and organisations who can directly impact the situation in a positive way. Through this series of talks, resources and insights into obstacles faced and available solutions will be offered.
We will show delegates how the different types of abuse are caused, linked and ultimately, how they can be prevented, or their impact reduced.
Attending influencers include MPs, members of the judiciary, police commissioners, advocates, SM influencers and leaders in child protection organisations such as social services.
