Efforts to keep names of perpetrators secret upsetting for survivors-advocate

An advocate for abuse survivors says efforts by church organisations to temporarily keep the names of deceased perpetrators secret ahead of an Abuse in Care inquiry is hugely upsetting for survivors. Lawyers acting for the Catholic Church, the Salvation Army and the Anglican church made their cases today for non-publication orders to the Royal Commission. The faith-based hearings start at the end of the month, following a lengthy hearing into redress for survivors of abuse while in state care between 19-50 and 19-99. Jean Bell was there.
