The book reveals a lack of transparency which has had lasting impacts. As a result, there has been a continuing false belief that the Cleveland children did not experience sexual abuse and that the crisis was the result of over-zealous and incompetent practice.

with the ability to inspect previously confidential documents in the National Archive, the book explains that most of the children were probably the victims of sexual abuse, and therefore the diagnosis by medical professionals was likely to be correct.

Pausing there, I suspect that those in the audience, like me, had understood that what had happened in Cleveland arose from misdiagnosis by the two paediatricians. In that regard a recent book by journalist Beatrix Campbell, β€˜Secrets and Silence’ may be of interest.
