It was a privilege to welcome around 90 attendees to our recent @FACTukorg conference for what was an important, thoughtful & deeply engaging discussion on the devastating impact of false allegations in positions of trust - whether that is carers, police officers or teachers. False allegations are not rare or harmless. They ruin lives, corrode trust & pervert justice. We must confront this crisis with courage, evidence & truth. The afternoon was marked by honest debate, powerful personal insights & a shared determination to ensure that lessons from past injustices are neither forgotten nor repeated. I was especially delighted that my dear friend Stephen Wright, former Associate Editor at the Daily Mail, joined us to reflect on his distinguished journalistic career, including his extensive work uncovering the truth behind Operation Midland. My sincere thanks to everyone who attended for their continued support of FACT and its work. I would also like to thank those who helped facilitate the conference, particularly Brian Hudson (@FACTSVUAA), whose tireless advocacy and commitment to FACT continues to make such events possible.
