Lady Smith said she wants to contact people who were residents at either St Vincent’s School for the Deaf in Glasgow or Donaldson’s School for Deaf Children in Edinburgh.
The chair of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has appealed for help in its investigation of two residential schools for deaf children.
Both schools feature in the SCAI’s examination of residential care establishments for those with long-term healthcare needs, additional support needs, and disabilities at any time up to the end of 2014. Lady Smith released a video with BSL interpretation to accompany her appeal. READ MORE: Glasgow church where serial killer Peter Tobin hid victim's body could be turned into flats
“If you are able to provide me with any information about the experiences of children and young people at Donaldson’s and St Vincent’s schools, it will be of considerable assistance to me in the work we are doing here to find out what happened to children in residential care there and, if they suffered abuse, how that happened and how to protect against it happening again now and in the future.
She continued: “I understand that coming forward to give evidence to the inquiry can be really difficult and daunting. I know that it is not at all easy to decide to make the decision to do so.
