The reviewers state the spreadsheet is "not exhaustive", stating it does not include some historic cases that went to criminal trial or "numerous cases of alleged peer sexual abuse".
However, the report states a later analysis by the department's human resources department found that number was higher. The spreadsheet identifies 243 child complainants dating back over a 60-year period and says that there are "many additional cases" that don't have enough detail to add to that tally.The Education Department said in a supporting document that its secretary had reviewed and acted on "any immediate risks to children and young people" identified by the report.
