CATHOLIC Education director for the Toowoomba diocese John Borserio has defended the organisation's child protection policies.

Mr Borserio told ABC Southern Queensland that: "We had written procedures, we had good training, but in the end the compliance to that let us down.

"I don't know if it's naivety but that's where we fell down.

"What we've learnt is it's not about the paperwork, it's about the people."

The Catholic Church's handling of the sexual abuse of 13 girls at a Toowoomba school was the focus of a royal commission last month.
