Royal Commission into Institutional Responses Child Sexual Abuse
Submission Date: 19 April 2013
The Law Council of Australia provided a submission in respect of the initial Draft Practice Guidelines of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (the Royal Commission).
The Law Council strongly supports the establishment of the Royal Commission, which provides an important opportunity for Australians to better understand:
- the experiences of people who have been affected by child sexual abuse within institutional contexts;
- what should be done by institutions and governments to better protect children against such abuse in the future;
- what should be done to respond appropriately to child sexual abuse in institutional contexts; and
- what institutions and governments should do to address or alleviate the impact of past and future child sexual abuse in institutional contexts.
The Law Council previously made a submission regarding the Australian Government’s consultation on the Royal Commission’s establishment on 28 November 2012.1
