A leading social worker and an expert on child abuse have been appointed to Scotland’s public inquiry into the historical abuse of children in care.
Panel members Glenn Houston and Professor Michael Lamb will help chair Susan O’Brien QC with the work of the inquiry, which formally began at the start of the month.
Mr Houston is the chief executive of Northern Ireland’s independent health and social care regulator, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority, and has more than 30 years’ experience working in the field.
Mr Lamb is a professor of psychology at the University of Cambridge and headed a research unit at the US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Washington DC for 17 years.
