Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
ROYAL COMMISSION RETURNS TO MELBOURNE TO HEAR MORE STORIES FROM SURVIVORS OF INSTITUTIONAL CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse will hold more face-to-face private sessions with Commissioners in Melbourne commencing 7 October.
Royal Commission CEO, Ms Janette Dines, said there has been a strong response from people in Victoria wanting to tell their story in a private session.
“We know that for many of the victims sharing their story with the Commission is very hard. But, equally, the opportunity to tell their story has proved beneficial for many.
“The private sessions are contributing significantly to the Commissioners’ understanding of the nature and extent of the sexual abuse of children within institutions in Australia.”
