Public inquiries have become a standard governmental response to managing matters of public interest and concern, including child abuse, in a number of countries, but questions have been raised over whether they are worth the time, money and resources. This paper examines experts' perceptions of the aims and outcomes of public inquiries, before moving on to consider whether there are more effective and efficient ways of investigating national scandals. Based on findings from a thematic analysis of the proceedings of a four‐day expert summit, and semi‐structured interviews with 16 participants who have been involved in child abuse inquiries in the UK and elsewhere, it concludes that public inquiries are not fulfilling all of their competing objectives. While a limited number of inquiries into the care and protection of children have had a positive impact on policy or practice, or successfully raised public awareness overall, there is little evidence of effectiveness. There is a need to: rethink the purpose, scope, methodology and impact of such inquiries to ensure that they are more effective and cost‐efficient; place children, victims and survivors at the centre; and use a wider range of professional expertise and skills.

公众对儿童的照料和保护的调查的目的和结果:应该对他们采取不同的态度吗?

在许多国家中,公开询问已成为政府对管理公共利益和关注的问题(包括虐待儿童)的标准政府回应,但是人们质疑这些问题是否值得时间,金钱和资源。在继续考虑是否存在更有效的调查国家丑闻的方法之前,本文研究了专家对公共调查目的和结果的看法。根据对为期四天的专家峰会会议进行的主题分析的结果,以及对在英国和其他地区参与过虐待儿童调查的16名参与者的半结构化访谈,得出的结论是,公众调查并不能满足所有他们的竞争目标。尽管对儿童的照料和保护进行的查询数量有限,对政策或做法产生了积极影响,或者总体上成功地提高了公众的认识,但几乎没有证据表明有效。有必要:重新考虑此类查询的目的,范围,方法和影响,以确保它们更有效和更具成本效益;将儿童,受害者和幸存者置于中心;并使用更广泛的专业知识和技能。
