BRAVEHEARTS founder Hetty Johnston said the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was a chance for organisations to air their dirty little secrets once-and-for-all.
The Royal Commission will hold public hearings in Queensland for the first time from today.
The commission will specifically investigate the response by the Catholic Education Office in Toowoomba to allegations of child sexual abuse at St Saviour’s Primary School in 2007.
It will also investigate the response by the principal and other members of staff at the school to the allegations.
It is expected the hearing will run for up to two weeks.
Ms Johnson said the royal commission was not only important for the people involved, but also for every child past, present and into the future.
