THE probe at The Mallard, in Springburn, has been ordered amid concerns that previous police investigations were flawed.
DETECTIVES have been ordered to launch a fresh inquiry into allegations of historic child abuse at a church care home.
The probe at The Mallard in Springburn, Glasgow, has been ordered by the Crown amid concerns that three previous police investigations were flawed.
Prosecutors gave the order after an SNP minister raised concerns about the criminal investigations.
The allegations of sexual and physical abuse date back to the 90s and were first brought to police attention by a dad who removed his son from the Church of Scotland home in 1999.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney is the father’s MSP and contacted the Lord Advocate on his behalf.
