SISCC was founded by survivors, for survivors. We exist to ensure that people who experienced abuse in Canada’s independent schools are heard, believed, supported, and empowered. Through survivor-led research, advocacy, and collaboration, we work to strengthen government policy, improve institutional accountability, and ensure that the protection and well-being of children remain paramount. Together, we are building a safer and more accountable future for the next generation.
