Flying Start is an enhanced early years programme in Wales which is targeted at areas where a high proportion of households with children are recipients of income-related benefits or tax credits. Child protection interventions are known to be concentrated in more deprived areas. Flying Start could have the effect of reducing risk to children or, conversely, it could result in more children coming to the attention of social services. Administrative data were used to identify children in public care and on child protection registers in Wales on 31 March 2015 and to identify lower super output areas covered by Flying Start services. Child welfare intervention rates were examined, and a comparison was made between areas within deprivation quintiles where Flying Start was operating and areas where it was not. In areas where Flying Start services are provided, child welfare intervention rates are higher than in areas where they are not, after controlling for multiple deprivation. Further work is needed to establish why child welfare intervention rates are higher in Flying Start areas and what effect there might be longer term.

在针对加强早期服务的地区，儿童福利干预率是更高还是更低？

Flying Start 是威尔士的一项增强型早年计划，该计划针对的地区有很大比例的有孩子的家庭是收入相关福利或税收抵免的接受者。众所周知，儿童保护干预措施集中在较为贫困的地区。Flying Start 可能会降低儿童面临的风险，或者相反，它可能会导致更多的儿童受到社会服务机构的关注。2015 年 3 月 31 日，行政数据被用于识别威尔士公共照料和儿童保护登记册上的儿童，并识别飞行启动服务涵盖的较低超级产出区域。对儿童福利干预率进行了检查，并对贫困五分之一范围内的 Flying Start 运作的地区和没有运作的地区进行了比较。在提供飞行启动服务的地区，在控制多重剥夺后，儿童福利干预率高于没有提供服务的地区。需要进一步的工作来确定为什么 Flying Start 地区的儿童福利干预率较高，以及可能产生的长期影响。
