The Royal Commission into child sexual abuse in the ACT will focus on the response of the Marist Brothers to allegations of child abuse by Brother John Chute and another former brother whose name has been withheld.
The commission, which will hold a public hearing on June 10, will conduct a forensic analysis into what steps Marist Brothers took to report the allegations of sexual abuse to the police and relevant authorities.
The hearing will also assess the response of agencies including the NSW Department of Family and Community Services when alerted to the allegations of abuse by the two brothers.
The settling of compensation by Catholic Church Insurance and the Marist Brothers will also be assessed at the public hearing.
