A full judge-led inquiry into historic sex abuse in Scotland has been announced.
The national public inquiry will be held to examine historical cases of abuse of children in care in Scotland, the Scottish Government announced.
The secretary for education Angela Constance revealed the inquiry in a statement to the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday.
She said the full remit and appointments for the inquiry would be confirmed by the end of April, following consultation with survivors of abuse.
Arrangements for meetings with survivors will begin in January.
