Lessons from Inquiries
Lessons from Inquiries
Over time, policy and practice have been influenced by landmark cases which are subject to popular debate, public inquiry and professional analysis. Many modern procedures in the UK can trace their origins back to the public inquiries following the death from abuse of children such as Maria Colwell (Field-Fisher, 1974). Other deaths, such as those of Victoria Climbié (Laming, 2003) and Peter Connelly (Laming, 2009), and, in Scotland, of Kennedy McFarlane (Hammond, 2001), have resulted in legislation and in major policy initiatives, as have reports into historic abuse in institutions in Ireland (Ryan, 2009). There have been a number of inquiries where the focus has been neglect and emotional abuse; it is to these that this chapter turns.
