S2E5 | "Joanna Brittan - Whistleblower Exposes 100 Years of Boarding School Abuse and Pedophilia"

Whistleblower Joanna Brittan is BACK as promised with another riveting episode and story (this episode was originally supposed to be Part 1, but we pushed it back to be Part 2). This time we travel back to her childhood to reveal what she discovered growing up in the Sherborne boarding school system that set her on fire to continue the incredible activism work she does now as an adult, shedding light on and bringing attention to the abuses her brothers endured while also exposing the harrowing historical cover-up of Sherborne Prep involving decades of child sexual abuse scandals. And ever since, she has been campaigning for justice for the survivors of the horrific CSA that took place within the boarding school system at Sherborne during the years of 1923 - 1998 by sadistic pedophile Robin Lindsay during the time he and his father, Fred, reigned over Sherborne Prep. These scandals still have yet to be investigated despite whistleblowers like Joanna and her brother, John, coming forward and speaking out.

Joanna had what most people would see as or consider to be a privileged childhood. Sending children to boarding school was a generational pattern on both her father's and mother’s sides of the family and the tradition was continued with Joanna and her 3 brothers. A week after her 8th birthday Joanna was sent to Knighton House, a Preparatory Boarding School for Girls in Dorset while her brothers were sent to Sherborne Prep School (then only for Boys), separating the family. This not only changed Joanna's life dramatically being separated from her parents and family unit at such a young age, but it also brought to life the realities of "Boarding School Syndrome" which encapsulates the seldomly discussed side-effects of separating children from their families at a young age electively & the unconscious and incomprehensible traumas they might endure that can impact them for a lifetime.

Joanna, who has spent an immense amount of time understanding her own experiences and the impact growing up in boarding schools has had, has also spent over 12 years of her adult life illuminating the truth behind Sherborne's dark history, risking everything to get justice for her brothers and for all survivors of Sherborne CSA. Joanna is an incredible woman on a mission who has led a remarkable life. We all have so much to learn from her. Please connect with and support Joanna as she continues he rbrave fight to get justice for herself (please watch last week's podcast with Joanna) and for survivors of Sherborne School abuse and CSA.
