Detectives say their investigation at Donaldson's College for the Deaf in Edinburgh is now over.

It is believed that they have interviewed a number of people connected with the school.

Lothian and Borders police declined to give any further details about the two people, or the nature of the charges.

A spokeswoman said: "The police inquiry into Donaldson's College in Edinburgh has been concluded.

"Two people have been charged and a report submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

No date for a court appearance has been set.
