The Scottish Government has set up a consultation paper upon whether it would be appropriate to develop an acknowledgement and accountability forum for the survivors of childhood abuse in Scotland.
The paper analyses different attempts from around the world to develop such a model for abuse survivors. The closest model they have found originates from South Africa following apartite.
Significantly the question of compensation is absent from the model. The paper comments a survivor ““… for me money is totally irrelevant here, it really doesn’t come into it…..I always ask what good will that do …how can money possibly cure the wasted years or the horrors that will live with me and these people all our lives?”
The paper invites responses, which must be received befor 16th January 2009.

I live in London at present. I would like information concerning lawyers who could help me sue Glasgow social services in regard a failure in duty of care.
Thank you for your email. Apologies for the long delay in responding. We have solicitor members in Scotland called Digby Brown who do such cases in Scotland.
