Institutional abuse of children: Legal remedies and redress in Australia examines the recently amended 'common law' framework. These reforms include removal of limitation periods, reversal of the onus of proof, extending vicarious liability to persons akin to employees, requiring institutions to identify a proper defendant when necessary, and permitting some earlier settlements and judgements to be revisited. The unique fixed term National Redress Scheme for historic child sexual abuse in institutional settings is also examined, in the context of the underlying policy to offer an alternate redress pathway which aims to be more flexible, less formal, faster, cheaper, and involving less trauma and conflict for survivors. As the first detailed analysis of the new legal framework relating to compensation and redress for child sexual abuse in Australia, this book makes an original contribution to knowledge and understanding of the law in this complex area, which continues to develop at a rapid pace as additional legislation is enacted across Australia and as the courts begin to construe these new legislative provisions. Features ¿ Analyses the new legal framework governing claims for compensation and redress arising out of sexual abuse of children in institutional settings in Australia ¿ Examines the relationship between the National Redress Scheme and civil claims ¿ Provides a practical understanding of how to work through the intersecting laws and redress systems to best advise clients

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013– 17) was one of the largest public inquiries in Australian history and one of the most important investigations into child abuse internationally. It facilitated a national conversation about justice for victims and survivors and how to improve child safety in the future. Through the examination of practices in key social institutions, including churches, schools, sporting clubs, hospitals and voluntary organisations, it provided new understandings of the widespread abuse that many people had experienced in the past and it made recommendations for a national redress scheme. The Royal Commission also recommended sweeping reforms in policies, practices and institutional cultures. Offering valuable insights into the Royal Commission’s history and background, its social and cultural significance, and its implications for policy development and legislative reform, this book provides a wide-ranging analysis of the work of the Royal Commission and its social, psychological, legal and discursive impact. The chapters reveal not only the complexity of the matters that the Royal Commission was dealing with and the difficulties faced by the victims of child sexual abuse, but also the challenges of researching and writing about this sensitive topic. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Australian Studies.

This Royal Commission was appointed on 11 January 2013 to inquire into institutional responses to child sexual abuse in Australia. This report presents the final findings of this five year inquiry, and comprises 17 volumes. Through the work of the Royal Commission, the Australian public has learnt about the multiple and persistent failings of institutions to keep children safe, the cultures of secrecy and cover-up, and the devastating affects child sexual abuse can have on an individual's life. Through this final report - together with the three final reports already released on criminal justice, redress and civil litigation, and working with children checks ? the Commissioners have made a total of 409 recommendations aimed at making institutions safer for children and responding better to abuse. The volumes are entitled: Our inquiry; Nature and cause; Impacts; Identifying and disclosing child sexual abuse; Private sessions; Making institutions child safe; Improving institutional responding and reporting; Recordkeeping and information sharing; Advocacy, support and therapeutic treatment services; Children with harmful sexual behaviours; Historical residential institutions; Contemporary out-of-home care; Schools; Sport, recreation, arts, culture, community and hobby groups; Contemporary detention environments; Religious institutions; and Beyond the Royal Commission.
