Women's refuge wants ACC to change how it handles sensitive claims - a podcast by RNZ

Women's Refuge says ACC needs to stop treating sensitive claims the same as physical injuries.
Figures obtained under the Official Information Act show only 5 percent sexual abuse claims lodged with ACC are accepted.
The principal policy advisor at Women's Refuge, Natalie Thorburn, that's because a large number of survivors drop out of the process because they're put off by having to undergo a formal assessment.
The ACC Minister Carmel Sepuloni says she's asked the agency for more information on why survivors are not undergoing assessments.
