2Entitlement to claim compensationN.I.

This adran has no associated Nodiadau Esboniadol

(1)An application for compensation under this Part may be made by or in respect of a person who suffered abuse while a child and while resident in an institution at some time between 1922 and 1995 (both inclusive); but this is subject to sections 3 and 4.

(2)A reference to having suffered abuse is a reference to—

(a)having suffered sexual, physical or emotional abuse or neglect or maltreatment,

(b)having witnessed one or more other children suffer abuse of a kind referred to in paragraph (a),

(c)having otherwise been exposed to a harsh environment, or

(d)having been sent to Australia under the programme commonly known as the “Child Migrants Programme”.

(3)“Institution” means an institution in Northern Ireland in which a body, society or organisation with responsibility for the care, health and welfare of children provided residential accommodation for children, took decisions about them and made provision for their day-to-day care.

(4)A reference to an institution does not include a reference to an institution at which education was provided, other than—

(a)a school certified under the Children Act 1908,

(b)a training school under the Children and Young Persons Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 or 1968,

(c)a Borstal institution, or

(d)a young offenders centre under the Treatment of Offenders Act (Northern Ireland) 1968.

(5)A reference to being resident in an institution includes a reference to being absent from the institution while under the care of—

(a)the body, society or organisation which provided residential accommodation for the child in the institution, or

(b)a person authorised by that body, society or organisation.

(6)But subsection (5) does not apply to a case within subsection (2)(c); and subsection (2)(c) is accordingly to be read as referring only to a person who was exposed to a harsh environment while in the institution in question.

(7)The reference in subsection (1) to a person who suffered abuse while resident in an institution is, in a case within subsection (2)(d), to be read as a reference to a person who was resident in an institution immediately before being sent to Australia as mentioned in that provision.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
