Author: Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

Title: Analysis of complaints of child sexual abuse received by Anglican Church dioceses in Australia

Summary: The Royal Commission has conducted a comprehensive survey of the 23 Anglican Church dioceses in Australia to gather data about the extent of complaints of child sexual abuse received by Anglican Church dioceses. 2. A substantial proportion of the people who contacted the Royal Commission made allegations of child sexual abuse occurring in Anglican Church institutions. As at the end of 2016, of all people who attended a private session with a Commissioner, 60 per cent reported that they were abused in a faith-based institution and of those, 15 per cent reported that they were abused in an institution managed by the Anglican Church. Of all people who attended a private session, almost nine per cent reported that they were abused in an institution managed by the Anglican Church. Institutions managed by the Anglican Church were the second most reported faith-based institution by people who attended private sessions, with institutions managed by the Catholic Church being the most reported (37 per cent). 3. Analysis of complaints data provides detailed information about complaints of child sexual abuse, including information about where the alleged abuse occurred and when it occurred. The complaints data also provides information about the people who made complaints of child sexual abuse and the alleged perpetrators who were subject to the complaints of child sexual abuse. Finally, the complaints data provides information about aspects of the institutional response to complaints of child sexual abuse, including outcomes such as redress for complainants and disciplinary processes for alleged perpetrators. 4. The Royal Commission has conducted a similar survey of Catholic Church authorities in Australia which resulted in the report titled Analysis of claims of child sexual abuse made with respect to Catholic Church institutions in Australia (February 2017). 5. The Royal Commission contracted Sphere Company to develop the survey necessary for the data collection; clean and analyse the data; and produce this report. An outline of the data collection and cleaning process adopted by Sphere Company for the complaints data is set out in Appendix 2.
