An inquiry into allegations of historical sexual abuse at religious-run day and boarding schools has recommended a redress scheme for survivors.
The redress scheme, which it says should be contributed to by the relevant religious orders, is just one of a number of recommendations set out in the Scoping Inquiry report that was published on Tuesday.
