Redress For Survivors (Historical Child Abuse In Care) (Scotland) Act 2021 - waiver, contributions and other routes to redress: statutory guidance – updated August 2024

Organisations listed on the scheme contributor list

9. Organisations which have made, or agreed to make, fair and meaningful financial contributions are included on the publicly available scheme contributor list. The waiver to be signed by the recipient of a redress payment will only extend to the Scottish Government and "relevant scheme contributors", that is organisations included in the scheme contributor list on the date that Redress Scotland makes its determination of the recipient’s application for redress. A copy of the scheme contributor list as it was at the time the application was determined, will be given to applicants alongside the determination letter from Redress Scotland.

10. An applicant's right to raise or continue relevant civil proceedings against an organisation not included on the scheme contributor list, at the date their application is determined, will not be affected by signing a waiver.

11. More information on when an organisation can be added or removed from the scheme contributor list can be found in the Statement of Principles Regarding Financial Contributions.
