The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what alternative means exist to provide the services offered by In Care Survivors Service Scotland in the event that they are withdrawn due to lack of funding.
The answer
The Scottish Government is committed to supporting survivors of childhood abuse. The In Care Survivors Service Scotland (ICSSS) provides a specialist service to a group of people who have suffered trauma of a very specific nature which is tailored to their needs. In particular, the service uniquely offers support accessing records relating to individuals’ care experiences.
We have asked Open Secret to submit a renewed business case for further funding, which we will take into consideration in combination with the external evaluation of the service currently being carried out. We therefore do not anticipate the need for alternative arrangements.
