Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was an official investigation in Australia that examined how organizations like schools, churches, and other institutions handled allegations of child sexual abuse. Its goal was to identify failures, promote accountability, and recommend measures to prevent future abuse. The commission heard from survivors, reviewed institutional practices, and highlighted the importance of transparency, support for victims, and safeguarding children. Established in 2013 and concluding in 2017, it aimed to ensure that institutions prioritize child safety and respond appropriately when abuse is suspected or disclosed.
