Emily McFadden
Emily McFadden is an abuse solicitor at Bolt Burdon Kemp. She brings civil claims for compensation for victims of abuse against organisations and individuals.
Emily joined the SurvivorsUK board in 2017. She joined because she saw her clients finding it difficult to access support, help, and counselling, and felt that getting involved in SurvivorsUK would be a way to help men who have experienced abuse. She believes that survivors of abuse need holistic services to help them to come to terms with what happened to them, and to obtain the justice they deserve.
Brock Chisholm
Dr Brock Chisholm is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the psychological impact of traumatic events such as sexual & physical assaults, accidents, bereavements, domestic violence, and traumatic childhoods, as well as adjustments to life events.

He is the Director of Criterion A Psychology Services, an approved expert in the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative hosted by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and for the National Crime Agency. He is also a lecturer at the Royal Hospital for Tropical Medicine; and has been a trainer for the Metropolitan Police in The Sexual Offences, Child Abuse and Exploitation Command.

He joined the Board of Trustees of Survivors UK in early 2017 to share his clinical expertise and is committed to assisting those affected by sexual abuse, including those that help. He recognizes that for staff to provide an excellent service to survivors the organization itself must be well managed and supported. He hopes that his involvement on the Board will assist with this.
