I never expected to start a campaign.

Like most people, I assumed I understood how the justice system worked.

I was wrong.

One question led to another. One piece of legislation led to another. Before I knew it, I'd spent weeks researching, contacting organisations and submitting Freedom of Information requests to understand an area of law I'd never even heard of.

This campaign isn't about pretending to have all the answers.

It's about making sure we're asking the right questions—and encouraging an evidence-based conversation about whether the current law gives child victims under 16 the protection they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who's followed the journey so far. Every conversation, comment and share helps more people discover an issue that many of us never knew existed.

🚨 OUR OFFICIAL UK PARLIAMENT PETITION IS NOW LIVE! 🚨

Today marks a huge milestone for the Children Shouldn't Be Time-Barred campaign. 💜

After months of determination, our official UK Parliament petition has now been published.

We're calling on the Government to review and reform statutory prosecution time limits that can affect child victims under the age of 16.

This campaign isn't about attacking individuals or reliving one case. It's about asking whether our current laws give every child a fair opportunity for justice and whether changes are needed to better protect children.

🙏 Today, I'm asking for your help.

✅ Please sign the petition if you're eligible.
✅ Please share it with your family and friends. ✅ Please invite others to follow this page.

Every signature helps show Parliament that this issue matters.

Together, we can raise awareness and encourage meaningful discussion about protecting child victims.

👋Welcome to Children Shouldn't Be Time-Barred

My name is Bryony, a mum from North Yorkshire campaigning for stronger protections for child victims.

I created this page because I believe children deserve to be heard, protected and given fair access to justice.

This campaign began after my own family experienced first-hand how difficult and complex the justice system can be when a child reports abuse or assault. Through that experience, I learned how statutory time limits can affect child victims and their families, particularly when disclosure is delayed or safeguarding investigations take time to complete.

The more I learned, the more I found myself asking one question:

Should a child lose the opportunity for justice because they were too frightened to speak out, or because investigations took longer than expected?

I don't believe they should.

This page will follow my campaign to reform statutory time limits affecting child victims and raise awareness of an issue that I believe deserves greater public attention.

Thank you for following and supporting the campaign.
