The cost of acting on the findings of an inquiry into whistle-blowing and workplace culture at the City of Edinburgh Council is set to top £10 million over the next five years.
That is on top of £1.37m paid for two investigations by independent QC Susanne Tanner, who ruled that a senior social worker at the centre of abuse allegations was protected by an "old boys network" and called for "transformational change" to how allegations of misconduct are handled.
