Particular institutions
These volume brings together survivors' accounts from private sessions, written accounts, findings from public hearings and research to document survivors' experiences of sexual abuse in particular institutions.

Volume 12 examines what we learned about institutional responses to child sexual abuse in contemporary out-of-home care. It examines the nature and adequacy of institutional responses and draws out common failings. It makes recommendations to prevent child sexual abuse from occurring in out-of-home care and, where it does occur, to help ensure effective responses.
