Using a sample of 1028 middle and high school students from Sichuan Province, China, structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to analyse data collected via validated scales measuring digital stress, online self-disclosure, perceived friendship quality and mental well-being. Results revealed that digital stress was directly and negatively associated with adolescents' mental well-being (β = −0.235, p < 0.001). Online self-disclosure and perceived friendship quality partially mediated this relationship, suggesting that digital stress both motivates self-disclosure as a coping mechanism and deteriorates perceived friendship quality, thereby influencing mental health outcomes. Furthermore, urban–rural differences moderated the association between perceived friendship quality and mental well-being, with urban adolescents exhibiting a stronger positive effect (β = 0.466, p < 0.05) compared with rural peers (β = 0.374, p < 0.001). These findings underscore the dual-pathway mechanisms linking digital stress to mental well-being and highlight the need for context-specific interventions, particularly in rural areas. The study advances theoretical frameworks such as the general strain theory and support deterioration model in the digital context, offering actionable insights for policymakers and educators to mitigate the adverse effects of digital stress on adolescent mental health.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2013-2024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives were to examine differences in child-to-parent violence according to the sex and age of the children and to analyse the mediating role of reactive and instrumental reasons between exposure to direct and indirect violence across different contexts and time frames and child-to-parent violence towards fathers and mothers. A total of 2150 Ecuadorian adolescents aged 12–18 years participated in this study. Overall, child-to-parent violence did not vary as a function of sex or age; however, significant differences were observed when specific forms of child-to-parent violence were examined. Daughters reported engaging in more physical violence and control/domain behaviours than sons. In general, reactive reasons showed a stronger mediating effect than instrumental reasons across both types of exposure to violence and across both time frames. Exposure to violence in the home was found to be the strongest predictor compared with exposure to violence at school, in the street and on television; moreover, it was shown to have a greater impact on child-to-parent violence directed towards mother. This study provides valuable information for prevention and intervention programmes, as it highlights that the reasons why children use violence against their parents are more reactive than instrumental.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2170-2186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149099986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is not always possible to keep siblings together; separation may be necessary for the child's normal development and even to protect the child's well-being. Social workers have noted that despite the complexity of placement decisions, no body of knowledge is available to guide knowledge-based decision-making. Considerations for separation are scarce in the literature. In response to this need, a mixed-methods action study was conducted to provide a collection of considerations for social workers on planning, treatment and evaluation committees. This study surveyed considerations for the separation of siblings in the decision-making of out-of-home placement in literature and practice and created a typology of considerations using a model of gap analysis. The model facilitates a systematic comparison between the desired state, as articulated in policy documents, professional standards and normative assumptions, and the actual state reflected in welfare practices and case decisions. By using it, the considerations are clarified to foster better practice.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2215-2225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70130","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on how personal experiences and community narratives shape attitudes. Using data from semi-structured interviews with 24 first-generation Muslim migrant parents, the findings reveal a stark contrast between firsthand experiences and secondhand accounts. Participants who had direct contact with the CWS typically described interactions as professional and supportive. However, widespread negative stories within social networks portrayed the agency as punitive and culturally insensitive, fueling fear and mistrust. The analysis highlights key factors contributing to these perceptions, including misinformation, cultural misunderstandings and communication barriers. While systemic biases were occasionally noted, most firsthand accounts suggest that negative perceptions are often exaggerated. The study underscores the importance of improving cultural competence among CWS staff, enhancing communication strategies and engaging directly with migrant communities to dispel myths and build trust.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2048-2058"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper considers interview reports from secondary schools, FE colleges, social care and mental health teams, drawing on a complex systems framework as a lens into organisational and agent-level interactions. Findings highlight mutual professional respect and a focus on shared outcomes as key facilitators for multiagency working. Challenges related to the flow of information between organisations and knowledge gaps around understanding childhood trauma. The findings also report boundary-spanning roles, which overcome some of the identified challenges. Policy and practice implications include the following: prioritising close-working between sectors; harnessing collaborations around a core set of goals, with schools as a focal point; and further developing innovative boundary-spanning roles. Research implications include exploring multiagency dynamics in other contexts and understanding how carers interact with education, mental health and social care subsystems.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2202-2214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores how the variability of digital media management profiles relates to the levels of digital competence and the perceived impact on professional practice and family outcomes. Participants were 103 practitioners from public social services for family support, who completed an online survey. Using a person-centred approach, four digital media management profiles were identified: Novice Users (11.7%), Diversified Users (32%), Instant Communication Users (32%) and Information-Seeking Users (24.3%). Members of Clusters 2 and 4 demonstrated higher proficiency in safety measures, digital content creation and technical problem-solving skills. They also reported that online support had a positive impact on family well-being, satisfaction with services and parental autonomy. These results underscore the need for targeted training to effectively integrate digital media and develop advanced digital competences. Both elements should be considered as quality standards and best practices, promoting more effective, responsible and adaptable approaches to support families' autonomy in an increasingly digital world.","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 4","pages":"2037-2047"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.70113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to develop a model for exiting children living in residential care from CSE, guided by the research question: How does practice experience inform the development of a model to exit children from CSE? Individual interviews with 24 workers from five community service organizations, and five child protection workers, along with two additional focus groups with residential care staff were undertaken in 2024. The inductive analysis revealed a ‘constructed composite’: a CSE Exit model. There are five components: (1) child at the centre, (2) therapeutic work with the child, (3) soft disruption, (4) hard disruption and (5) exit from sexual exploitation. The model is framed by four enablers: authorizing environment, information sharing and multiagency work, coordination by expert CSE practitioners and knowledgeable workforce.

Thematic analysis identified AI's potential to improve the identification of at-risk children, enhance data-driven decision-making and detect patterns of re-abuse, contributing to more proactive intervention. However, substantial challenges emerged, including low predictive accuracy, the absence of qualitative and contextual data, misalignment between predictive systems and service delivery, workforce and operational constraints and gaps in follow-up support. Ethical concerns—particularly regarding privacy, surveillance and discriminatory impacts on economically disadvantaged families—were also highlighted.
