AUSTRALIA : PROTECTING VULNERABLE CHILDREN

ARCHDIOCESE OF MELBOURNE REPORT:
Vulnerable Children Inquiry Print

Archbishop Denis-Hart Wednesday 29 February 2012

"The wellbeing and safety of all children and families is of fundamental importance to the Church," the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart said yesterday, responding to the tabling in the Victorian Parliament of the Report of the Protecting Victoria's Vulnerable Children Inquiry.

Speaking on behalf of the Catholic bishops of Victoria, Archbishop Hart noted that "the Report of three volumes contains 90 separate recommendations in relation to a number of very important questions about how our society deals with its most vulnerable members. There are recommendations relating to the courts, government departments and agencies and non-government and religious organisations, including the Catholic
Church."

The Archbishop said, "Many sectors of our community will be studying the Report and will form views on its findings and recommendations.

“Detailed responses will be provided by the Church as the Report and its recommendations are
examined," Archbishop Hart said.
