ALLEGATIONS of sexual abuse at the former Bayswater and Box Hill boys’ homes are the subject of a hearing in October.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has announced it will hold a public hearing to inquire into the experiences of children who lived in Salvation Army institutions between 1940 and 1990, which includes the notorious Bayswater Boys’ Home.
The home in Liverpool Rd, The Basin, operated from 1897 to 1986 and housed hundreds of boys who had been placed in legal custody.
