摘要

在北美的许多司法管辖区,社会经济弱势家庭更有可能参与儿童保护系统,并面临持续的挑战。目前对新冠肺炎大流行的公共卫生应对措施通过失业、“必要”工作、隔离以及关闭儿童保育和学校对这些家庭产生了不成比例的影响,对儿童的发展福祉产生了负面影响。专家警告说,虽然儿童保护转介人数减少,但有虐待风险的儿童较少接触到典型的记者(如学校专业人员)。与此同时,物理距离措施促使许多人类服务环境转向对儿童和家庭的虚拟干预。在这篇评论中,我们建议,在应对新冠肺炎时关注短期风险可能会掩盖对儿童长期结果的支持。我们提出了两个政策考虑:(1)在短期内,儿童保护工作者被视为“必不可少”;以及(2)从长远来看,实施永久的、普遍的基本收入保障,以支持在未来危机中家庭物质福利和财政预算的可预测性基线。正如我们所写的,我们无法预测这些关闭的寿命,也无法预测它们对儿童和家庭的影响程度。然而,本文反映了之前危机后的评论,指出了超越即时健康风险缓解的重要性,从长远来看,考虑儿童发展和家庭社会经济需求方面的福祉。

“Essential” services, risk, and child protection in the time of COVID-19: An opportunity to prioritize chronic need
In many North American jurisdictions, socioeconomically vulnerable families are more likely to be involved with child protection systems and experience ongoing challenges. The current public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on these families via unemployment, “essential” work, isolation, and closures of childcare and schools, with negative implications for children’s developmental wellbeing. Experts warn that while child protection referrals have gone down, children who are at risk of maltreatment are less exposed to typical reporters (e.g., school professionals). At the same time, physical distancing measures are prompting many human service settings to shift toward virtual intervention with children and families. In this commentary, we suggest that a focus on short-term risk in the response to COVID-19 may obscure support for children’s long-term outcomes. We propose two policy considerations: (1) in the immediate term, that child protection workers be deemed “essential”; and (2) in the longer term, that permanent, universal basic income guarantees be implemented to support a baseline of predictability both in families’ material wellbeing and in fiscal budgets in the case of a future crisis. As we write, it is impossible to predict the longevity of these closures nor the extent of their impact on children and families. However, the present article mirrors commentary following previous crises noting the importance of going beyond immediate health risk mitigation to consider wellbeing with regard to children’s development and families’ socioeconomic needs in the long term.
