Independent review of systemic abuse conditions
Recommendation
Where there is evidence or suspicion of widespread abuse involving multiple staff and residents, focusing solely on individual perpetrators is insufficient. An independent review of enabling conditions should be conducted separately from case-specific or PSNI investigations. This review must be led by investigators with appropriate expertise in safety science to support rapid system-level changes. PHA, in conjunction with the Chief Social Work Officer (CSWO), should issue guidance for such reviews.
