Scotland's Redress Scheme - waiver on participation: impact assessment report

Appendix E: Privacy Notice

Waiver Report

Section 48 of the Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Scotland) Act 2021 requires Scottish Ministers to publish a report on their assessment of the impact and effectiveness of the waiver under section 46 of the Act, and the steps they intend to take as a result of that assessment. The report must be published 18 months after section 46 came into force. The report must set out the effectiveness of the waiver in encouraging public authorities, voluntary organisations and other persons to become Scheme contributors.

We are inviting all Scheme contributors and non-contributors who have engaged with the Scheme to participate in this survey.

The survey consists of 12 questions and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
