    Podcast on Mental Health Awareness Day with Special Guest Chris Tuck Trauma and The Role It Plays on Mental & Physical Health     Chris Tuck is an influential advocate in the campaign against childhood abuse, with a remarkable journey and a significant impact in various spheres.   Policy development / Legislative change   As a former member of the Victim and Survivor Consultative Panel (VSCP) for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), Chris has been a vital voice. The VSCP, established in 2015, consisted of members with lived experiences of child sexual abuse, bringing a wealth of experience across fields like health, education, and social work/care.   They contributed to strategy, research, and policy developments at ARU (Anglia Ruskin University), enhancing the work in consultation and collaboration, knowledge exchange, and research and practice development​.   In her role with the VSCP, Chris has been an advisor to the Inquiry, influencing policies and practices to support survivors.
