Brisbane’s Anglican Archbishop Phillip Aspinall has admitted to the child sexual abuse royal commission that protocols to deal with complaints have not always been followed.
Dr Aspinall resumed giving evidence to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Sydney today, which has been looking at how two prestigious Brisbane boys schools handled sexual abuse complaints.
Last week, the Anglican Church said it would reimburse tuition fees for all students who suffered sexual abuse at their schools within the Diocese of Brisbane, which covers much of southern Queensland.
One of those schools, St Paul’s School at Bald Hills on Brisbane’s north side, employed two men who molested students, former school counsellor Kevin John Lynch and music teacher and convicted paedophile Gregory Robert Knight.
