The Catholic Church in
Scotland has revealed details of abuse allegations made in 2013, of
which seven were made against members of the clergy. In total, 15 allegations were made, of which six were historical (from the 1980s or before).
Ten of the allegations were of sexual abuse, of which three also involved physical abuse. The Catholic Church said it was publishing the audit to show that it was being transparent and open. The Diocesan Safeguarding Audit for 2013 showed that the remainder of the allegations involved physical abuse alone, emotional abuse and verbal abuse.http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-30498135
