Abstract
This chapter examines the development of public inquiries into child abuse and the various policy processes and methods deployed to support them. It contains two central propositions: firstly, that the ongoing Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse provides an unprecedented opportunity to capture and disseminate more deeply the emerging knowledge of child abuse; and secondly, that there is now a significant need to establish in the UK a permanent centralised Public Inquiries Office to support public inquiry work in the child protection sector and elsewhere.
