This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
The proposed law wants to create a redress scheme. You will be able to use this scheme if you were abused in care. The scheme has two main goals. It wants to acknowledge what happened to you.

You could get counselling or other support to help you feel better.
