THE national Royal Commission into child sexual abuse wants people to contribute ideas and expertise on the best ways to prevent children living in out-of-home care from being abused.

Out-of-home care includes arrangements by an agency for foster care, relative or kinship care, family group homes, residential care and independent living arrangements.

The fourth issues paper was published by the commission on Wednesday and organisations and individuals have until November 8 to lodge submissions.

The commission is investigating how institutions responded to child sex abuse allegations. It is holding its first public hearing in Sydney on Monday.
