Managing abuse inquiries: methodology, organisation, process and politics

Abstract

This paper offers a framework for managing abuse inquiries in social care. Drawing on experience of an inquiry into the physical abuse of people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours in a residential service, it reviews the likely demands on inquiries, offers observations about stake‐holding and makes suggestions about inquiry management and reporting.
