Redress Bill waiver still a ‘betrayal’ of abuse survivors, campaigner claims
The Bill is currently at stage two in Holyrood (Dominic Lipinski/PA)
Survivors of child abuse still feel a waiver built into a new Bill to compensate them is a “betrayal”, a campaigner has said.
The Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Scotland) Bill is currently at stage two in the Scottish Parliament and would give financial compensation to survivors.
However, as part of the Bill, survivors would have to sign a waiver saying they would not pursue further legal action against care providers after they have received the payment.
