Edinburgh Academy to be focus of Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry when it resumes this summer
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry will focus on Edinburgh Academy when it resumes public hearings on boarding schools in late summer.
BBC presenter Nicky Campbell has said he was abused while at the school and the inquiry team has urged others to get in touch. “It is normal for applicants to come forward during and after evidential hearings. Those hearings and the publicity surrounding them encourage them to get in touch. In these particular circumstances, I have decided further evidence about the care of children who boarded at the Edinburgh Academy should be heard in public hearings, as part of the boarding schools case study.
An Edinburgh Academy spokeswoman said: “We fully support the decision which allows former pupils who have bravely come forward to have their voices heard and provide evidence as part of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry . As we have done from the outset of the SCAI being established in 2015, we will continue to support the inquiry and work closely with the relevant authorities.
