Why this role matters

People with epilepsy have the right to live without stigma, to get the support they need, and to feel part of society.

This role plays a key part in making sure people are heard, supported, and able to live the life they choose.

Redress Scotland is the Non-Departmental Public Body responsible for deciding levels of financial redress to be awarded to survivors and, in some cases, next of kin. Redress Scotland is independent of the Scottish Government.
