Survivors are hoping the Government won’t stuff it up when it comes to the abuse-in-care reparations. 

Abuse survivor Jim Goodwin says the Government's apology is a huge moment for many people. 

But, he told Ryan Bridge, today's words will need to be followed through with actions. 

Goodwin says he's worried about how the Government will provide support for survivors and what they'll do to prevent future abuse-in-care. 

He says that compensation is important but it’s only part of what survivors need.
