Our Response to the Royal Commission

Acknowledging the Past, Committing to Change

Presbyterian Support Central acknowledges the trauma caused by abuse experienced by children, young people and vulnerable adults in care settings across Aotearoa.

We issued a formal public apology on 19 November 2024 in response to the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. This apology recognises our role and the harm caused, and affirms our commitment to safety, healing and long-term change.

Moving Forward With Purpose

PSC has committed to:

  • Trauma-informed, culturally responsive care across all services
  • Strengthening our safeguarding policies and systems
  • Ongoing listening, accountability and transparency with survivors

We believe in the importance of owning our past and using it as a foundation to build safer, more compassionate systems of care.
