Critical reappraisal of child sexual abuse
Critical reappraisal of child sexual abuse is the key issue faced by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse Issues. However, critical reappraisal of sexual violence against children and adolescents is also a task for society as a whole.
What does critical reappraisal mean?
Reappraisal should uncover past injustices. Why is it so important to look into the past in order to protect children and adolescents from sexualised violence in the future?
Critical reappraisal formats
The Inquiry has various critical reappraisal formats at its disposal for investigating child sexual abuse in different areas.
