People who were in care as children have been waiting for months to get access to records from Falkirk Council with two new jobs being created to handle demand.
Now, with a recent increase in requests due to the ongoing Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, members of Falkirk Council's children, young people and education executive have agreed to create the new posts to tackle the backlog.
The staff will be part of an Information Rights team dedicated to collating and preparing the information which is often lengthy, complex and distressing for those who want to know more about the details of their lives in the past.
