The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has today put out a call to anyone who has experienced, or has information regarding, child sexual abuse within the entertainment industry.
Royal Commission CEO Philip Reed said, “Institutions within the Royal Commission’s scope may include television networks, film and television production companies, theatrical production companies, dance, drama and performing arts schools or colleges, casting agencies or any other company, agency or organisation, public or private involved in the entertainment industry.”
Anyone with information, whether or not they have experienced child sexual abuse themselves, can contact the Royal Commission.
“Anyone thinking of coming forward should be rest assured that the confidentiality of their information will be protected,” he said.
Advertisements will be run in Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan newspapers as well as industry publications.

Haha… it’s an odd WordPress algorithm. In this case no show title to hang it on, so a bit random. I don’t pre-select related posts, not enough hours in the day.
