Anglican Trust for Women and Children acknowledges Abuse in Care national apology
Anglican Trust for Women and Children recognises the significance of the national apology to survivors of abuse in care in Parliament on Tuesday 12 November.
“Today is another important step in the process of acknowledging what occurred in the past, and the actions being taken to address them to prevent it from happening again. We acknowledge survivors’ trauma with deep sadness and regret, and commend the bravery of those who came forward, as well as those who were unable to speak out,” said ATWC CEO Andrea McLeod.
ATWC has acknowledged all findings of fault against the Anglican Church in the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care’s report, and is working alongside the Anglican Church through the Te Korowai working group to understand the recommendations.
ATWC is committed to reconciliation and healing and encourages historic abuse survivors to come forward - they will be believed, respected and supported.
“We’re determined to use the Royal Commission’s findings to inform and improve our survivor-led recovery and healing process,” said Andrea McLeod.
