Rehabilitation code for CSA civil claims
The International Underwriting Association of London should take the lead in the production of a code for the benefit of claimants who are bringing civil claims for child sexual abuse. The aim should be to produce a code, comparable to the Rehabilitation Code or for inclusion in that code, with the objective of ensuring that victims and survivors of child sexual abuse are able to access the therapy and support they need as soon as possible.
- In May 2023, the government noted that this recommendation was being progressed by the IUA (Government Response to IICSA Final Report, HM Government, May 2023).
- No published rehabilitation code for CSA claimants from the IUA has been identified to March 2026.

AcceptedOn 23 February 2021, the International Underwriting Association of London stated that it had established a working party to develop a rehabilitation code. On 14 December 2021, the International Underwriting Association of London stated that it had agreed to fund engagement with a group of victims and survivors for feedback on the rehabilitation code via a charitable donation to the Survivors' Trust. It hoped to finalise a draft rehabilitation code following these meetings. On 21 April 2022, the International Underwriting Association of London stated that work was carried out to source willing survivors to populate the group, which resulted in challenges that have affected the progression of this project.
