The Anglican Church has backed the recommendations of Victoria’s child abuse inquiry and says it will fully co-operate with any changes to ensure children are adequately protected.
Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne Dr Philip Freier says the church supports the report’s key recommendations.
“It is crucial that children be protected from abuse, and that we continue to strive to ensure that our protocols and processes meet the standards the community expects of us,” he said in a statement.
Dr Freier said the Anglican Church would continue to provide full co-operation with the state government in implementing “whatever is necessary” to ensure children were adequately protected and abuse victims were treated with compassion, justice and equity.
