processes for all vulnerable children’. Barker (2007;5) The Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006) document underpins many important government legislations from the Children’s Act 1989, Children’s Act 2004 and the Green Paper Every Child Matters (DfES 2004)
政府已经制定了许多关于机构间合作的立法文件。《携手保护儿童》文件于1999年首次发布，但2006年又进行了更新的改编，该文件显示了机构和从业人员应如何携手促进和保护儿童的福祉。该文件的最新版本反映了政策、立法和实践中出现的新发展。该论文是为任何与儿童和家庭合作的人撰写的，它表达了机构和专业人员应该如何合作，以满足1989年和2004年《儿童法案》的法律要求该文件中的指导方针基于绿皮书“每一个孩子都很重要”的结果，制定了一项帮助保护儿童的国家政策保持健康；保持安全；享受并实现；做出积极贡献，实现经济福祉“每一个孩子都很重要”在实现这些成果的过程中，共同努力强调了所有组织和机构对所有弱势儿童的评估、规划、干预和审查过程采取综合多专业方法的重要性。《携手保护儿童》文件是1989年《儿童法》、2004年《儿童法案》和《每一个儿童都重要的绿皮书》中许多重要政府立法的基础
In 2003, the Laming Report was made public and brought 108 recommendations for changes to children’s services at a national and local level, and within and between the different agencies and professionals. The Laming report led to the Green paper ‘Every Child Matters’ which set out five main outcomes for children to achieve there wellbeing, the legislation was aimed at children from birth to nineteen years. It was the tragic death of Victoria Climbe in 2000 which was one of the main contributions to the Green Paper Every Child Matters (DfES 2003) ‘The legacy of Victoria Climbie is that her death provided both the government and professionals with the permission to refocus on the importance of working together, thus integrated services are at the heart of the government initiative Every Child Matters, and the Children Act 2004 provides the legal framework to facilitate the programme of change’, Lumsden et al. in Waller (2009; 153)Victoria’s death was a result of horrifying abuse which was caused by her great aunt and her boyfriend. However Victoria was seen by many agencies ‘during her time in the UK Victoria was seen for health and welfare reasons, by a wide range of representatives from different social services departments, health services and hospitals as well as the police, but all failed to intervene appropriately to protect her’. Barker (2009; 9) Every Child Matters tried to build on existing plans put together by the government to strengthen preventative services, social exclusion and tackle poverty for children and families by focusing on four key themes; ‘Supporting parents and carers; Early Intervention and effective protection; Accountability and integration of services; and Workforce reforms.’ (Baldock et al (2007; p70) In 2004 Every Child Matters ‘Change for children’ was launched alongside the Children’s Act 2004, ‘providing the legislative spine for the wider strategy improving children’s lives’.

2003年，《拉明报告》公开了，并提出了108项关于在国家和地方一级以及在不同机构和专业人员之间改变儿童服务的建议。拉明的报告导致了绿皮书《每一个孩子都很重要》，该绿皮书列出了儿童实现幸福的五个主要结果，该立法针对的是从出生到19岁的儿童。2000年，维多利亚·坎贝不幸去世，这是《绿皮书每一个孩子都很重要》的主要贡献之一，因此，综合服务是政府倡议“每一个孩子都很重要”的核心，《2004年儿童法案》为促进变革计划提供了法律框架”，Lumsden等人在Waller中写道，维多利亚的死亡是由其姑母和男友造成的可怕虐待造成的。然而，许多机构“在英国期间，出于健康和福利的原因，来自不同社会服务部门、卫生服务部门和医院以及警察的广泛代表都看到了维多利亚，但都未能适当干预以保护她”。每一个儿童问题》试图以政府制定的现有计划为基础，通过关注四个关键主题，加强预防性服务、社会排斥和解决儿童和家庭贫困问题支持父母和照顾者；早期干预和有效保护；服务的问责制和一体化；以及劳动力改革2004年，《每一个儿童都很重要》与《2004年儿童法案》一起推出，“为改善儿童生活的更广泛战略提供立法支持”。
‘The United Kingdom have witnessed 30 years of fatal child abuse inquiries or serious case reviews.’ Reader et al. (2004; 96) ‘During that time there have been about 40 public inquiries overall and between 50 and 90 local case reviews under part 8 of the ‘working together’ guidance each year. Reader et al (2004; 96; Department of Health 1999) These terrible consequences of past inquires have influenced the services provided to children and families through changes to policies and in practice, however public inquiries have also seen similarities. It is over 30 years since the publication report was released looking into the inquiry of the death of seven year old Maria Colwell who tragically died from abuse of her step-father. This tragic death caused shock in society and there was ‘utter determination that such tragedies like this would never happen again’ Lonne (2008;18) However des
