New child abuse report in Bero Wood School investigated by police

A new police investigation is going on in a school, where generations of children were misused, following a new report against more than a dozen employees.

Nine former teachers and workers of the Bero Wood School have been convicted of students who have physically and sexually abused between 1968 and 1991.

Hundreds of boys, many with troubled background, were sent by local authorities across England to the improvement school on the border of Vestershair and Glostersarer.

The West Mercia police confirmed that it was looking into a new report of misuse, which the BBC understands the concerns of at least 14 former employees.

“Malnutrition” established in 1966 for boys, children will be sent to Bero Wood in the hope of getting education.

Instead, many people were beaten and sexually abused by men who were assigned to them.

Boys will not be referred to by name but not by name, which many people have told the BBC that they still remember today.

Chris Broansan described the “punishment” to the Bero Wood School in 1978, which was at the age of nine.

He was dyslexic and neurodynamgent – although it was not diagnosed – and he struggled with the mainstream school.

The social services of the Buckinghamshire County Council took him to more than 125 miles of unemployment, which was a Tudor Manor House in Pendock village.

The isolated school was surrounded by fields with the nearest city, the nearest city, Tewkesbury.

Mr. Broansan was given 22 numbers and any hopes of a happy time in rural areas faded when they sexually and physically abused other students.

He said, “PTSD levels that were previously transplanted came from seeing how other boys were treated and I knew that treatment would come in my way,” he said.

“It was the island of lost boys – now I am 59 years old and I only echo the analogy.”

The misbehavior he had daily in Bero Wood had a permanent impact on Mr. Broansan, known as “bear” by his friends.

After leaving school at the age of 16, he fled to London as his domestic life was still unstable.

He ended in prostitution to survive, sleeping in the toilet at Waterloo station for security.

“I did not have to live anywhere. I used to sleep at a customer’s house and slept and it would be after beating and drunk.”

Mr. Broansan’s life took another turn, when through a love of indigenous music, he met the derogatory entertainer Rolf Harris and later became a promoter of his band.

Harris saw him as his “adopted son”, but when Mr. Broansan began to notice his treatment towards women and girls, the friendship became sour.

Once popular TV personality Was imprisoned for nearly six years in 2014 He died for indecent attacks against four girls and in 2023.

Decades later and now 3,000 miles are living abroad, Mr. Broesanan is still haunted by his experience in Bero Wood and many other former students, want answers.

“Nobody has listened to me and I need some accountability from the government,” he said.

“I am still hurt by it at the age of 59, I still misbehave somewhere in my subconscious.

“I needed someone to listen to me, I needed someone to say that it was not right.”

Mr. Broansanan is working with the lawyer Peter Garcden, who gave evidence in child sexual abuse (IICSA) during an independent investigation.

The investigation, which lasted for seven years and heard testimony from hundreds of victims recommended a redressal scheme for the survivors to search for compensation. However, it is feared that it may never come.

The government published in April “Currently taking no other steps forward” With the scope of child misconduct, with the scheme due to “current fiscal environment” and “huge challenges”.

Mr. Garsden, who is also working with Keith Level, Another survivor of the Bero Wood SchoolDescribed it as “insult”.

A home office spokesperson told the BBC that it was “committed to take several action against the recommendations from IICSA”.

“We are advancing a fleet of comprehensive measures to prevent child sexual abuse from being first place,” he said, “he said.

In search of answers, there are Ven Rudge in East-Puppils, who were known from number 25.

He was sent to Bero Wood, a 12 -year -old, by Social Services in Wolverhampton in 1983.

He was there during two years, he beaten horrific and saw the misuse of the students.

He also remembers the head teacher Ron Morris, which he described as “tragic”, pinned him against a wall, until he was a breathless, he used to throw it.

Mr. Rudge, who still lives in Wolverhampton, said that the impact of his school days had cautioned him with anger and rights.

He told the BBC, “I will never be the owner of my home, or a new car, because I can’t deal with everything with work and rights,” he told the BBC.

“I just want to live in a place on my own, left alone,” said Mr. Rudge.

“I am going to jail and I will go there instead of boarding school.”

Mr. Rudge said that the beating in the school had taught him to fight for the way he gets out of any situation.

When she was 18, she killed a person in a battle and was jailed for two and a half years.

“I regret every day,” said Mr. Rudge. “It moves in my mind and it should not have happened.”

Ron Morris and Alan Gorton, who were school owners, were imprisoned in the early 1990s with ABH, Common Assault and Housesman Philip Gray for cruelty.

Gorton was sentenced to 12 months, Morris was sentenced to eight months and Gray was given six months.

Three others – David Lautton, Peter Larner and Peter Gorton – were found guilty of attacking students after being convicted of attacking students.

David, not his real name, gave evidence in the Crown Court of the city after the school was closed in 1991.

In the care of the local authority from the age of eight, he was sent to Bero Wood at the age of 11.

“The first week was fine, then things started changing rapidly,” David said, which is also from Wolverhampton.

“We are talking about being snatched into the rain in our pajamas, [beaten] Black and blue, broken nose and missing teeth, “he said.

“They were beating me daily, well for me, because I was uncontrolled.”

Like Mr. Rudge, he never received forgiveness or clarification as to why he was sent there by the local authority.

“I want to know why they sent us there, why the school was not closed soon, why there was no aftercare,” he said.

“We were put there, forget about our own equipment when we came out and left for our own equipment.”

The City of Wolverhampton Council said that she was looking at historical records, but was unable to provide a comment at the moment.

Jili Jordan, Deputy Cabinet Member for Buckinghamshire Council for Education and Children Services said that it was unable to comment on specific matters, but was “committed to ensure that the good and safety of all children and youth is a highest priority”.

“These frightening, historical experiences shared by children at the Bero Wood School are served as a powerful reminder of the need to continuously review and strengthen safety practices to ensure that any anxiety is addressed on time and properly.”
