A MELBOURNE-based musician has released a stirring song to inspire and celebrate survivors of child sexual abuse in the Catholic education system.
Ian Whitehead’s “99 Candles in Ballarat” is dedicated to the brave survivors, their victims and families.
The song also pays tribute to those who suffered abuse and committed suicide.
Mr Whitehead, who was himself abused in a Catholic school, gave evidence to the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse in a closed session in Ballarat.
