Child abuse inquiry: 'It was all about the school's reputation'
A former pupil at a Catholic school criticised in a report from the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, says there "was little concern for the children, it was more about protecting the reputation of the school".
The report found two private Catholic boarding schools Ampleforth College in north Yorkshire and Downside Abbey in Somerset allowed "appalling" abuse to take place over decades.
The broadcaster and journalist James O'Brien attended Ampleforth. He spoke to Mark Mardell on Radio 4's World at One programme.
