    Abstract

    Shocking revelations about the abuse of children in schools generate waves of anxiety and concern throughout society. They prompt particular questions for parents, educators and policymakers. "Is/was my child safe in that school?" cuts to the heart of our desire to ensure children can grow and flourish in caring environments. Questions for those in positions of management, leadership and teaching in schools include: "Do the policies and procedures we have in place actually work to the good of the students?" and "Are such policies evaluated regularly, systematically and with transparency?"
