| Abstract |
This paper profiles Queensland's recent Crime & Misconduct Commission Inquiry into the abuse of children in foster care. The authors welcome the outcome as an opportunity to highlight the problems encountered by child protection jurisdictions in Australia & internationally, & they applaud some of the Inquiry's findings. However, the paper argues that the path to reform is hampered by insufficient accountability by government & management, & an inadequate challenge to the ideologies underpinning contemporary child protection policy & practice. The authors conclude with a call to value & assert social work's contribution to child protection systems so as to vastly improve outcomes for children & families. 35 References.
