THE head of the Catholic Education Office in Toowoomba has admitted there was no process in place requiring his delegates to advise him or his deputy of child sexual abuse allegations in the diocese.
Director John Borserio said there was also nothing in the student protection and risk management kit which required the diocese’s two student protection officers Ian Hunter or Christopher Fry to report any allegations to him either.
The student protection and risk management kit was the primary manual used to protect students at 32 schools across the diocese.
Mr Borserio told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses into Child Sexual Abuse on Friday it was a deficiency in procedures he now regretted.
