One of the findings of the Royal Commission was that “the occurrence of child sexual abuse within religious institutions may in part be attributed to the poor selection and screening of candidates for religious ministry and the lack of appropriate initial training or formation.”
This Assembly Roundtable will follow the regular format of theological input, review of good practice in this area and a case study from one of our member church dioceses.
Presenters have now been confirmed. They are:
- Janiene Wilson, Clinical Psychologist and lecturer at Catholic Institute of Studies, Sydney
- Greg Milles, Director of Professional Standards, Anglican Diocese of Southern Queensland
