England’s child protection system is intended to safeguard young people at risk of significant harm – physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. When young people are physically assaulted, stabbed or groomed into drugs trafficking they experience significant harm. To this extent they are entitled to support from statutory child protection services. Using findings from one component of a mixed method multi-site study, data from referrals and assessments into children’s social care is examined to identify the extent to which the right support and protection is realised. Such analysis indicates that despite being at risk of significant harm, young people abused in community or peer, rather than familial, settings will most likely receive a ‘no further action’ decision from social workers following referrals for support. This article suggests that to a certain extent no further action decisions are aligned to the legal and cultural parameters of social work and child protection practice, thus raising questions about the sufficiency of such for safeguarding young people abused in extra-familial settings.

没有进一步的行动:将家庭以外环境中受害儿童的社会关怀决定置于情境中

英格兰的儿童保护系统旨在保护面临重大伤害风险的年轻人——身体、性、情感虐待和忽视。当年轻人受到人身攻击、刺伤或诱骗从事贩毒活动时,他们会遭受重大伤害。在这方面,他们有权获得法定儿童保护服务的支持。使用混合方法多站点研究的一个组成部分的结果,检查来自儿童社会护理的转介和评估的数据,以确定实现正确支持和保护的程度。此类分析表明,尽管有遭受重大伤害的风险,但在社区或同龄人而非家庭环境中受虐待的年轻人最有可能在转介支持后得到社会工作者“不采取进一步行动”的决定。
