The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
has released a consultation paper on best practices in responding to
complaints of child sexual abuse in institutions.
Royal Commission Chief Executive Officer Philip Reed said the Commission’s terms of reference require it to look at identification, reporting and investigating allegations of child sexual abuse in institutions.
“A theme identified from our 4,874 private sessions and 38 case studies to date is that there have been institutional failings when responding to complaints of child sexual abuse,” Mr Reed said.
