What is Report of the Gove Inquiry into Child Protection in British Columbia : a commission of inquiry into the adequacy of the services, policies, and practices of the Ministry of Social Services as they relate to the apparent neglect, abuse, and death of Matthew John Vaudreuil about?

In July 1992, Matthew Vaudreuil died at the age of five and a half years in Vancouver. He was a client of the Ministry of Social Services throughout his life, yet had a life of constant abuse. His death called into question the public's confidence in the province's child protection system and the province accordingly ordered an inquiry into the circumstances of Matthew's death and the practices of the Ministry in the area of child protection. This report is the result of that inquiry. The first volume details Matthew's story, examines what the Ministry did after Matthew died and what senior Ministry management did, reviews the deaths of other children in British Columbia who died in circumstances similar to Matthew's, and summarizes a public consultation on issues relevant to child protection in the province. Volume two examines the context for change in the child protection system, the delivery of child welfare services, and the principles and goals which should dictate policy. The volume concludes with a design of and recommendations for a new child-centered child welfare system
