A National Strategy for Survivors of Childhood Abuse

In 2005, the Scottish Government launched the National Strategy for Survivors of Childhood Abuse. The work of the Scottish Parliament's Cross Party Group for Survivors of Childhood Abuse and many other individuals and organisations were instrumental in developing the strategy.

The strategy's aims, among many, are to:

  • Raise and improve knowledge and awareness of childhood abuse
  • Ensure joined-up working in mainstream services
  • Improve the lives of survivors
  • Develop training and skills for frontline workers
