Aurora Group’s Secret Abuse | Bristol News

Parents of children at shuttered special needs school St. Christopher’s are speaking out after abuse allegations led to its closure — a facility run by the Aurora Group that profited hundreds of thousands per child while ignoring parental warnings. Despite police investigations lasting two years and no criminal charges filed due to legal barriers, one parent, Annette Maxwell, now regrets not pushing harder — her son Jonah allegedly suffered cruel treatment including being woken every two hours. After winning a civil settlement without admission of guilt, the Maxwells are now demanding stricter laws to hold private providers accountable, as the government prepares reforms like fee caps and minimum standards. The case exposes how public funds meant for education are being turned into profit, leaving families with few options amid widespread staffing and resource crises in both public and private special needs schools.
