What social workers do in performing child protection work: evidence from research into face‐to‐face practice (2016, background): “…shown that the amount of time spent alone with children is often inadequate, a finding that is supported by other research, which has shown how lack of time and compliance cultures can produce risks to children (Broadhurst et al. 2010; Gillingham & Humphreys 2010; Lonne et al. 2009; Munro 2011).”
How Children Become Invisible in Child Protection Work: Findings from Research into Day-to-Day Social Work Practice (2017, background): “An increasingly influential explanation is that the scope for social workers to get to know children sufficiently is constrained by excessive levels of case recording and other bureaucracy, tight timescales for completing work, high case loads, and compliance with procedures and management dictates ”
