Scotland’s Redress Scheme

Scotland’s Redress Scheme is for survivors of historical child abuse in care in Scotland.

It has been set up to recognise and acknowledge what happened, and the harm this abuse caused.

If you apply, you may be offered:

• a payment
• an apology, if you would like one, and help to get an apology from others
• emotional support
