Material connected with the Scottish Government's Care Services for Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse. The current Scottish National Party deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon called on the Labour Minister Mr Peter Peacock for a Public Inquiry or a Social Work Services Inquiry into Quarriers Homes past abuse issues in 2004. Mr Peacock turned her down. As part of FBGA’s commitment to help provide help and support services for ALL survivors in Scotland, we have engaged with the Scottish Executive and others to explore common ground to the benefit of ALL survivors no matter which institution they devolve from. We have submitted the following discussion paper for a proposed fully inclusive health and social care integrated service with the inclusion of Survivors and their group representatives. This will be followed by draft models of care which we intend to submit for discussion also. We will also put forward further proposals and other plans as part of a complete package. The role and imput of survivors and survivor representatives is encompassed in all the models. We believe as group representing Quarriers Homes victims-survivors that it is for professional practitioners to provide this primary care in the first instance.
