Catholic church complaints process needs to change - survivor
A man who survived and witnessed sexual and physical abuse at Catholic-run schools said the way the church investigates complaints of wrongdoing needs to change. Brendon Bowkett has reported the abuse to the church's complaints body, but it only looks at sexual abuse and says physical abuse complaints are dealt with by the religious order involved. This, an advocate of abuse survivors said, is a denial of natural justice, Jimmy Ellingham reports.
