Tonight on Brainwaves we’ll be talking to Ingrid. Ingrid was admitted as a lawyer in 1999 and has predominantly practised in family law, child protection, intervention orders and royal commissions including family violence and institutional child sexual abuse. In 2016 Ingrid attended the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Rome to hear the evidence of (and cross examine) George Pell. Ingrid has kindly offered to come onto our show today to talk about her views on how victims of sexual abuse are treated in the legal system as a lawyer and as victim of abuse herself and the mental health impacts and supports available to survivors.
