Countless children across the country were exposed to physical, psychological and sexual abuse in churches, <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/our-work\/abuse-law-education-system\/\">religious schools<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/our-work\/childrens-homes-abuse\/\">religious children\u2019s homes<\/a>, and charitable organisations.<\/p><p>The response to this abuse has been just as disgraceful, with church authorities often covering up clerical abuse to protect their own image, exposing further children to abuse and helping <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/offenders\/\">paedophile offenders<\/a> to go unpunished. In recent decades, religious institutions have spent millions in legal fees trying to deny compensation to victims and protect their bottom line.<\/p><p>One of the worst offenders is the <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/institutions\/catholic-church\/\">Catholic Church<\/a>, where a shocking 7% of all priests were accused of abusing children between 1950-2010. In some Catholic orders, the numbers were as high as 15%, 20% and even 40%.<\/p><p>Other religious institutions such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/institutions\/christian-brothers\/\">Christian Brothers<\/a>, Anglican Church, <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/institutions\/salvation-army\/\">Salvation Army<\/a> and the Uniting Church all have similarly shameful histories.<\/p><p>Regardless of where and when you were sexually abused, you may be entitled to compensation. We have pursued cases against <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/our-work\/abuse-law-education-system\/\">religious schools<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/our-work\/clergy-and-institutional-abuse-claims\/\">churches<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/our-work\/childrens-homes-abuse\/\">children\u2019s homes<\/a> and charities.<\/p><p>Offenders include priests, religious brothers and sisters, teachers and other religious employees. You may not even need to go to court; there are options for abuse survivors both in and outside of court, and we can talk you through these options and choose what is right for you.
