The In Care Survivors Service Scotland, a partnership led by Open Secret, is a support service for adults who suffered childhood abuse in care and their families.
It is a team of specially trained counsellors offering help specifically for survivors of historic in-care abuse under a new national framework of advocacy, and counselling services, including:
- Providing locally based development workers across Scotland to offer survivors and their families support, advocacy and confidential counselling;
- A national confidential telephone Helpline line - 0800 121 6027 - currently available from 9am to 11am Monday to Friday, for those of you who have not yet been allocated a worker or to make a new referral.
- A new website and leaflet campaign highlighting the support available; and
- Help for survivors to access the Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme and support to pursue other legal issues (for example support to attend court).
The measures form part of SurvivorScotland, the national strategy which aims to improve services supporting those who have suffered childhood sexual abuse.
