Abuse in Care survivors face years‑long delays under current redress processes
About this episode
Church leaders are continuing to publicly apologise to survivors of abuse.
The Presbyterian Church is the latest to address it in two public apology events, the first was in Dunedin at the weekend and the next is in Auckland this Saturday.
It’s the latest in a series of public apologies from church and public sector leaders after the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care.
Over five years of investigations, the inquiry heard nearly 3000 survivor accounts of abuse and neglect over five years of investigations.
The more than 130 recommendations focused on creating a new, independent redress system, strengthening the care system, and holding institutions accountable.
Today on The Front Page, lawyer Amanda Hill has represented Abuse in Care survivors and is with us to explain how the process is working, and how it’s not.
