Abuse survivors to receive over £150m in compensation

Survivors of historical child abuse in Scotland's care system are set to receive over £150m in compensation. The Redress Scotland scheme has been established to compensate survivors, offering payments ranging from £10,000 to £100,000. Some 23 organisations have agreed to participate in the scheme and make financial contributions to compensate victims. Scotland’s 32 local authorities have agreed to contribute up to £100m over a decade to the scheme. The government continues to seek financial contributions from organisations responsible for instances of abuse. Religious organisations have also contributed, including the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, a Roman Catholic order for women, which has agreed to pay a maximum of £10m to people who suffered abuse at their hands.
