Child Abuse Inquiry

A Child Abuse Inquiry is an official investigation aimed at uncovering, understanding, and addressing instances of abuse against children, often within institutions such as schools, churches, or care facilities. These inquiries examine evidence, listen to testimonies from victims, and analyze policies and practices to identify failures and recommend improvements. The ultimate goal is to ensure accountability, provide justice for affected children, and prevent future abuse by creating safer environments. Such inquiries may be triggered by public concern, scandals, or emerging evidence of systemic issues within organizations that failed to protect children.
