SOME of Australia’s leading minds will lead the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced on Friday.
The Royal Commission will be led by Justice Peter McClellan, the current Chief Judge at Common Law of the New South Wales Supreme Court.
Ms Gillard said the commission would investigate how institutions responsible for children had managed and responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse.
It will also look into where systems to protect children have failed and make recommendations on how to improve laws and policies.
