Overview
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) was established in 2015 as a statutory, independent inquiry into the abuse of children in care. Its purpose is to raise awareness of such abuse, identify the systemic failings that allowed it to occur, and make recommendations to improve legislation, policy, and practice. Chaired by Lady Smith, the Inquiry began public hearings in May 2017 and will continue until its work is complete. Its terms of reference are published on the SCAI website.

The Scottish Government Response Unit coordinates the Scottish Government’s role as a core participant in the Inquiry. The Unit anticipates and responds to the policy and wider implications of the Inquiry, working closely with colleagues across the Scottish Government and its executive agencies. Its responsibilities include managing the identification and disclosure of relevant information to the Inquiry and supporting Scottish Government witnesses. The Unit reports to the Deputy First Minister and operates separately from the Inquiry’s Sponsor Team under an information barrier.
The Response Unit works flexibly and collaboratively to manage changing demands. It comprises two teams: the Evidence and Records Team and the Policy Coordination Team. This post sits within the Evidence and Records Team.
