Scottish care school under investigation

An independent care school in the west of Scotland is under
investigation following allegations of abuse.

Kibble school in Paisley provides residential and educational
facilities for children with significant social and behavioural
difficulties.

A spokesperson for the school confirmed that the Care Commission
had been approached by a member of staff who had alleged that
colleagues had physically abused youngsters in their care.

Graham Bell, director of Kibble, denied the charges, adding that
the school welcomed any investigation.
