Question

To ask the Scottish Government, regarding any potential impact on its funding of the service, what discussions it has had with the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre in relation to its compliance with employment laws.


Answer

Rape crisis centres are independent and the governance and day-to-day operation of services sits with their Boards. As such, it would not be appropriate for the Scottish Government to discuss employment law matters with Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. We continue to fund Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre to support survivors of rape and sexual assault.
