Lambeth LBC is set to launch a £100m redress scheme for survivors of historic sexual, physical and psychological abuse.

The scheme will provide financial compensation of up to £10,000 to former residents of the council's children's homes. This is also open to survivors who were subject to abuse at foster homes after moving from a council-run children's home.
