Brook Cottage Children’s Home Abuse Claims

An internal investigation at Brook Cottage revealed serious misconduct, resulting in disciplinary action against a staff member for assaulting a child in their care. This incident was just one of many that highlighted the abusive environment within the home.

Another case involved Paul Lamb, who served as the manager of Brook Cottage between 1984 and 1987. In May 2021, Lamb was convicted of 19 sexual offences, including three counts of rape. His actions during his tenure at the home led to his sentencing of 17 and a half years in prison, reflecting the severity of his crimes.
