Inquiry into the Child Protection System
An inquiry into the Child Protection System is a formal investigation that examines how well the system safeguards children from harm, identifies failures or gaps, and recommends improvements. It involves reviewing policies, practices, and outcomes to ensure children’s safety and well-being are prioritized. The process often stems from concerns about neglect, abuse, or systemic issues, aiming to promote accountability and enhance effectiveness. Ultimately, it helps rebuild trust, protect vulnerable children, and guide reforms for a more robust and responsive child protection framework.
