A teacher at Brisbane's Marist College Ashgrove continued working with students unsupervised despite Catholic church authorities knowing he was a 'danger to children' and faced multiple sex abuse allegations, a report by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse finds.

Protocols at a Brisbane private school put in place after several complaints against a Marist brother in the 1990s were "inadequate and ineffective", the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has found.

Brother Turton said he also discussed the complaints with priests in the Archdiocese of Sydney who dealt with allegations of criminal sexual conduct. "At least by the time Brother Turton received the report regarding the two boys at Ashgrove, he should have appreciated the need to remove Brother Patrick from a school environment immediately.

It was also satisfied that Brother Turton did not tell the principal or the Superior of the Ashgrove community the whole story regarding the complaint reported to police, and found this was "plainly inadequate".
