The Redress Support Service provides support for people who are applying to Scotland's Redress Scheme. The Scheme has been set up for survivors of historical child abuse in care in Scotland. It was set up to recognise and acknowledge what happened to them, and the harm which this caused. At the end of the process, survivors may receive a payment, an apology for the abuse they suffered, and emotional support.

The In Care Survivors Alliance was commissioned to provide support alongside this process. In December 2021, the Alliance established its second service to provide this: the Redress Support Service. You may read more about the service here: redress-support.scot

Our partnership approach is rooted in understanding that the impact of childhood trauma is individual and lifelong. We recognise that the experience of abuse in care often means people may face significant barriers to accessing much needed help.

As importantly, everyone we support will have different needs and have insight about what will work best for them. We provide a safe and trusted space for people to explore what is most important to them and to access tailored help toward their goals.
