The Catholic Church in Scotland will review recent and historic cases of abuse in the church in a “spirit of openness and transparency.”

The church will give details of the number of incidents reported between 2006 to 2012, their nature and the results of investigations into them, it announced to members.

A further audit of all cases of historic abuse allegations between 1947 and 2005 is then expected to be launched, along with a full review of its safeguarding procedures.
