Chetham&rsquo;s School of Music, in Manchester, was once known as a prestigious private music school for gifted young musicians. But that reputation was left in tatters after a number of former pupils came forward with allegations of appalling sexual and emotional abuse by people working at the elite institution &ndash; including violin teacher, Christopher Ling. 
Ling would kill himself without ever facing his accusers in court. 
For the first time, two of his victims &ndash; who use the names Laura and Catherine to protect their identity &ndash; speak openly about the abuse they suffered and tell of the lasting impact it has had on their lives. 
We speak to Laura&rsquo;s mum about the devastating moment she realised what had been going on. We also hear from lawyer <a href="https://www.slatergordon.co.uk/our-experts/richard-scorer/">Richard Scorer</a>, who acted for the women during the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, Namita Prakash from Trust House Reading, speaking on behalf of <a href="https://www.thesurvivorstrust.org/">The Survivors Trust</a>, and Anne Campbell who is chief executive of <a href="https://embracecvoc.org.uk/">Embrace Child Victims of Crime</a>.
