SURVIVORS.
TRUTH.
CHANGE.
A survivor-led coalition advocating for survivors of abuse in Canada's independent and private schools: demanding accountability, providing therapeutic supports and working towards lasting healing.
Our Mission
JUSTICE.
HEALING.
LASTING CHANGE.
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.
