Australia launches first national child abuse helpline
A new 24-hour national helpline for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse will be launched in Australia later this year, delivered by the Australian Childhood Foundation. The dedicated service, which includes a helpline, website and specialist referral system, is an Australian first and fulfils a key recommendation from the Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse. The service addresses calls from thousands of survivors who gave evidence to the 2013 Royal Commission, many stating they didn't know where to find help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy…
