THE Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual
Abuse held its 4000th private hearing in a jail in August as Britain
followed Australia’s lead in tackling child sexual abuse. The royal commission heard evidence on August 19 from a prisoner who had been sexually abused as a child.
In Britain, the head of its newly established Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse praised the ‘‘remarkable’’ response to the Australian commission. In a speech to Australian church leaders on Thursday, Royal commissioner Justice Peter McClellan said he was pleased the British inquiry would closely follow successful Australian arrangements.
