Scotland’s bishops have agreed on an action plan in response to an independent review of the Catholic Church’s handling of abuse allegations, according to reports.
In August, a commission led by the Very Rev Andrew McLellan called for the church in Scotland to make an ”unmistakable and unequivocal” apology and said support for survivors of abuse must be its ”absolute priority”.
The commission made eight recommendations, including that justice must be done for those who have been abused and that the church’s safeguarding policies and practices be completely rewritten and subject to external scrutiny.
