‘Recommendation fatigue’ claim after abuse reports

A report into whether or not recommendations made in major child abuse report have been implemented has claimed there is an element of “recommendation fatigue” at work.

The study, launched in Dublin yesterday by Children’s Minister Frances Fitzgerald, outlines a model that would see a selected inquiry team work with other stakeholders to deliver a blueprint for future action.

The report was written by Helen Buckley and Caroline O’Nolan, of the School of Social Work and Social Policy, Trinity College Dublin.
