A report into abuse within Scotland’s Catholic Church has recommended it address the wrongs of the past and make an “unmistakeable and unequivocal” apology to victims.
An independent commission has also suggested the Church updates its safety guidelines and that support for survivors be an “absolute priority”.
Eight primary recommendations have been made by the commission, which was established by Scotland’s Roman Catholic Church in November 2013 to review its practices in dealing with allegations of abuse.
It has examined the Church’s policies for how it relates to vulnerable children and adults with the aim of making it a “safe place for all”.
