dc.description.abstractThe England and Wales Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is chaired by Professor Alexis Jay OBE. It was established in July 2014 in response to concerns that some organisations had failed and were continuing to fail to protect children from sexual abuse. The Chair and Panel of IICSA make recommendations to better protect children from sexual abuse which arise directly from their findings. Amongst a range of potential reforms, the Chair and Panel are considering the merits of a recommendation to consider the introduction of a duty to report child sexual abuse; namely a mandatory reporting law in child protection legislation. The author of this Model law delivered two invited presentations to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in 2019, on the nature and impact of these laws, and the merits of a mandatory reporting law for child sexual abuse in child protection legislation.en_US
