Opposition Leader Jess Wilson said Victorian schools had betrayed the trust placed in them by families to keep their children safe. She cited recent allegations of sexual abuse at Victorian childcare centres as proof child safety failures continued to this day. "The details differ from the historical child sexual abuse for which we apologise today," she said. Mr Rowswell, who has played a leading role in seeking recognition for school abuse victim-survivors, said the apology was only a starting point. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732)National Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028Lifeline 13 11 14Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 (for people aged 5 to 25)
