Funded Activity Summary

Childhood maltreatment and late modernity: public inquiries, social justice and education. This project is an historical sociological study, which examines the unfolding Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse alongside past Inquiries into child maltreatment. It explores how changing understandings of children's development, vulnerability and rights have shaped social policy, educational responses and public attitudes towards safeguarding children and promoting their wellbeing. In particular, it investigates how concepts of childhood and policy approaches are changing as a result of social imperatives for openness and disclosure about matters once considered taboo. This project will advance conceptual policy insights on this major social issue and sociological knowledge of childhood and the forms and effects of late modernity.
