17 What is redress for?
Redress for a person is for the sexual abuse, and related non‑sexual abuse, of the person that is within the scope of the scheme.
Note: While redress is for both the sexual and related non‑sexual abuse of a person that is within the scope of the scheme, to be eligible for redress in the first place, there must have been sexual abuse within the scope of the scheme (see paragraph 13(1)(b)).
