“The purpose of this paper is to explore child on child abuse. Rather like staff on child abuse, there are comparisons:-

• It is likely that it has been under reported
• It has been ‘dealt with’ sometimes inappropriately or not at all

What is needed is to explore the different settings within residential establishments of such abuse and generate discussion around lessons learned from the past and how to enable the prevention of such abuse going forward. This is a difficult area to document and talk about but just as with staff on pupil abuse of the past unless there is openness and honesty in discussions we can’t make the necessary progress.”
