A second organisation representing survivors of child abuse in Scotland has threatened to boycott the public inquiry established to investigate historical allegations.
Members of the In Care Survivors’ group (INCAS) said the Scottish government was treating them with contempt.
Another organisation, White Flowers Alba (WFA) has already indicated it will take no part in the process.
Ministers have insisted the inquiry, announced in 2014, is the widest ever.
Chaired by Susan O’Brien QC, it will investigate abuse in residential settings such as boarding and secure schools as well as among foster families.
These include allegations of abuse at the former Fort Augustus Abbey School and its junior school in East Lothian.
