History

Historical Context

The 2013 Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse—established after 1990s abuse revelations—heard testimony from over 3,000 survivors and released its final report in December 2017. Its findings spurred tighter safeguarding laws, so the August 2026 NSW Police raid on The Scots College, seizing phones and replica firearms from three students, reflects ongoing reform pressures.
