| Abstract | In the Republic of Ireland Section 3(1) of the Child Care Act 1991 places an obligation and legal duty upon the State child protection services "to promote the welfare of children in its area who are not receiving adequate care and protection." This article focuses on a specific element of this duty; the social worker's responsibility to accept and assess retrospective reports of childhood sexual abuse. Retrospective disclosures of abuse are referrals made by adults of experiences they encountered as children. This article argues that current social work practice in this area lacks clarity and cohesion and while new policy and practice approaches are emerging ultimately there is a sense of confusion for both social workers and those adults affected by childhood abuse who come forward to disclose. This article presents an examination of the key judgement of Justice Barr in M.Q. v. Robert Gleeson and Ors [1998] 4 IR 85 and subsequent, related, precedents and how they relate to current Irish social work policy in this area. Adult disclosures of childhood abuse have the potential to bring alleged abusers to justice and thereby protect current and future children from harm. This article seeks to provide clarity, to social workers and those working with adults affected by abuse, regarding the Irish legal framework relating to adult disclosures of abuse as it stands. The article ultimately argues that further research and policy guidance is required. (As Provided). |
