CHANCE TO TALK FOR KERELAW VICTIMS

By David Moroney

Comment Bubble Comments (0) Printer Print Article

Victims of abuse at the former Kerelaw residential school in Stevenston will be given the chance to discuss their experiences at a "truth and reconciliation forum" set up by the Scottish Government, it was announced this week.

Minister for Children and Young People Adam Ingram said: "The young people who attended Kerelaw were among the most vulnerable in society and it is completely unacceptable that some of them suffered abuse at the hands of the very people who should have been showing them support.

"They were let down in a terrible way. That's why this Government and Glasgow City Council are fully committed to working together to learn the lessons."
