摘要

COVID-19大流行和相关的公共卫生“居家”限制加剧了家族风险因素。儿童受到伤害和虐待的风险似乎在增加,但大流行最初几个月的行政数据显示,虐待儿童的案件在减少。本文利用英国苏格兰的每周行政数据,跨越大流行的前17个月,发现虐待儿童的活动水平随着“呆在家里”限制的改变而波动。在封锁期间,需要进行机构间转诊讨论的儿童人数减少,但列入儿童保护登记册的儿童人数增加。限制放宽后,机构间转介讨论的次数增加了,但列入儿童保护登记册的儿童人数减少了。为了解释这种波动,这篇文章断言,大流行对服务部门直接与儿童和家庭接触的能力的影响至关重要,但也需要认识到行政数据在提供准确衡量儿童虐待程度方面的局限性。这篇文章主张,为了了解危机事件对儿童和家庭的影响,对行政数据的分析最好与更广泛的定量和定性来源结合起来。

The Utility of Administrative Data in Understanding the COVID-19 Pandemic's Impact on Child Maltreatment: Learning From the Scotland Experience.

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health 'stay at home' restrictions have intensified familial risk factors. Children would appear to be at increased risk of harm and abuse, yet administrative data from the early months of the pandemic showed falling cases of child maltreatment. Using weekly administrative data from Scotland, UK that span the first 17 months of the pandemic, this article found that child maltreatment activity levels fluctuated as 'stay at home' restrictions changed. During lockdown periods, the number of children subject to Inter-agency Referral Discussion fell but a higher number of children were placed on the Child Protection Register. When restrictions were eased, the number of Inter-agency Referral Discussions increased but the number of children placed on the Child Protection Register fell. To explain the fluctuations, the article asserts that the pandemic's impact on services' ability to engage directly with children and families has been critical, but the limitations of administrative data in providing an accurate measure of child maltreatment levels also need to be recognised. The article advocates that analysis of administrative data is best done in tandem with wider quantitative and qualitative sources in order to understand the impact of crisis events on children and families.
