In 2010, the Scottish Government contracted the Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) to develop a Framework for Justice and Remedies for Historic Abuse of Children in Care. This work led to an Action Plan to implement the recommendations of this framework.

Established in 2016, the In-Care Survivor Alliance was formed in support of a wider strategy developed by the Scottish Government to address the legacy of historic abuse in Scotland. Fully funded by the Scottish Government, the alliance is formed of three partners, the Glasgow Psychological Trauma Service (Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership), Health in Mind and Penumbra. The Alliance’s work is supported by a further network of delivery partners.

The In Care Survivors’ Alliance hosts two initiatives that contribute to the Scottish Human Rights Commission’s Action Plan on Justice for victims of Historic Abuse of Children in Care:

• Future Pathways, a national support fund for survivors of abuse or neglect in care in Scotland, and;
• Redress Support, which provides assistance to survivors who apply for financial redress.

Redress Support Service

The Redress support service is a new initiative that aims to remove barriers that individuals might face in their application for financial redress. The service delivers emotional and practical support to applicants as required during their application process. You can find out more about our service here: redress-support.scot

About the Role

Penumbra employs the Link Workers who work with the Alliance. Penumbra is committed to the values of the Alliance and is a leading provider of person-centred, trauma-informed services that provide compassionate responses to people in distress.
