Abstract:
This study presents a detailed exploration of Ireland's evolving child abuse reporting procedures and an examination of emergent child protection theories. Information is also drawn from a cross-jurisdictional study of countries that employ mandatory reporting laws to establish how effectively the provision operates. The key issues arising from the international research help to inform the implications of introducing a mandatory reporting law to Ireland.
