What Does the Harrods Compensation Scheme Offer?
The Harrods redress scheme has been created to compensate those who were sexually abused by Mohamed Al-Fayed during his time as Chairman.
The scheme offers financial compensation, a formal apology, and a trauma-informed alternative to going through the court system.
If you are considering applying under the scheme, our specialist abuse lawyers are here to help — at no cost to you whatsoever. Because Harrods is paying for your legal representation, we are able to guarantee that you will keep 100% of your compensation.
The scheme opened on 31 March 2025 and will close to new applications on 31 March 2026. It allows survivors to receive financial compensation and a personal apology without going through the court system.
Two Pathways for Compensation
- The Non-Medical Pathway
For survivors who prefer not to undergo psychiatric assessment:
- Basic compensation of up to £110,000
- Aggravated damages of up to £25,000
- Wrongful testing payment of up to £10,000
- Past treatment costs of up to £5,000
- The Medical Pathway
For survivors with a diagnosed psychiatric injury:
- Basic compensation of up to £200,000
- Aggravated damages of up to £25,000
- Wrongful testing payment of up to £10,000
- Past and future treatment costs
- Work Impact Payment of up to £150,000, calculated using a points-based system
Personal Apology
Eligible applicants will be offered both a written and if requested an in-person (or virtual) apology from a senior Harrods representative.
No Risk Appeal Process
If an applicant is unhappy with the compensation offer, they can appeal to an independent barrister. Harrods is bound by the outcome – applicants are not. Legal costs for appeals are also covered by Harrods.
