The Victorian education department had a “culture of covering up” allegations of historical child sexual abuse in public schools to protect reputations, an inquiry has found, describing it as an “appalling and systemic failure”.
The final report of Victoria’s special inquiry investigating historical sexual abuse at 24 state schools, tabled in parliament on Wednesday, found the department “woefully failed” to protect children between 1960 and 1994, because it had not policies in place to deal with perpetrators.
The inquiry identified 109 alleged victims of the four teachers at the centre of the allegations, the report said.
“The department failed in both its action and inaction,” the board of inquiry wrote.
