Redress service

Birthlink’s Redress Team are key Delivery Partners of the Redress Support Service. We support people who are applying to the Scheme to access their records.

We work with the Redress Support Service to help survivors in their redress journey. When we receive a referral from the Redress Support Service, we seek out records for survivors of historical abuse whilst in care. We have a highly skilled, trauma-informed and experienced team of Support Workers.

Scotland’s Redress Scheme is for those who have been abused in care. If you have experienced abuse while in the Scottish care system, you could be entitled to a payment and formal apology from the Scottish Government. For more information and details on how to apply, visit Scotland’s Redress Scheme website.

Redress Support Service offers personalised support to people throughout their redress journey. They can support you to prepare for applying, during the application and after you have applied.
