Hope Street has been declared a participating institution under the National Redress Scheme.
The National Redress Scheme commenced on 1 July 2018 in response to recommendations by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Scheme:
- Acknowledges that many children were sexually abused in Australian institutions;
- Holds institutions accountable for this abuse; and
- Provides support to people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse through access to counselling, a direct personal response from the institution (such as an apology), and/or a redress payment.
Hope Street has zero tolerance of child abuse, neglect and harm, all aspects of online safety risks including grooming. With all allegations and safety concerns taken very seriously, investigated robustly, consistent with policies and procedures the safety of children and young people are always paramount.
