Legal Matters
Scotland
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.

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.
