Who has been sued for abuse in Scotland?

Digby Brown has already acted for hundreds of abuse survivors in Scotland.

The following lists relate to some of the most common organisations we successfully recover historical abuse compensation from. 

While this list sadly shows the scale of the problem of historic abuse, it also illustrates the reach and commitment of our Non-Accidental team and the lengths it goes to so survivors can access the damages, recognition and justice they deserve.
