People with disabilities who have suffered sexual abuse as a child will have the chance to speak about their experiences at three forums in western Victoria’s Wimmera this week.

Horsham, Warracknabeal and Nhill will host information sessions for people with disabilities, their friends, family members, staff working in disability organisations and whistleblowers.

The forums are part of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The information sessions are designed to outline support and people will have the opportunity to speak about abuse they have experienced or witnessed.
