F.A.C.T is rightly critical when Government departments and others fail to acknowledge the reality that children sometimes make false allegations of child abuse against their carers and/or teachers.

This week I have come accross two examples where Government sponsored agencies have acknowledged that children do sometimes make false allegations. Both of the examples are in Scotland.

The first was in a talk  given bt the recently appoimted Children'sa Commissioner for Scotland and the second in an article which gives children and young peolpe advice about aimed atthe need to eradicate bullying.

Both are to be congratulated on bringing to the notice of the general public what most of us already know. Children do some times make false allegations of child abuse - something professionals find hard to admit.
