A local authority has been told to pay out over £25,000 to foster carers blacklisted over false assault claims.
Diane Boyle and husband Karl were removed from the carers' register by North Lanarkshire Council after having fostered 67 children over a 17-year period.
The couple from Motherwell were forced to sell their home after allegations of assault were made against Diane by two teenagers who had been in her care.
