“…However, the mutual lack of trust between social workers and mothers appears to promote the use of child protection plans. Consequently, this negatively impacts upon the mother–social worker relationship, and their ability to work collaboratively to keep children safe (Muench, Diaz, & Wright, ). Garrett () argues that this undermines the core values of social work, as an over‐reliance on contractual agreements makes the notion of “trust” ultimately redundant.…”

This paper aims to explore childcare social workers' attitudes towards female victims of domestic violence in England. The study discusses the concept of “mothering” and the processes through which mothers are potentially denigrated rather than empowered. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with social workers in a single child protection agency to investigate their perceptions of domestic violence, its gendered nature, and the implications for their practice. Participants' responses were coded using thematic analysis. The results demonstrated social workers' cognisance of the challenges domestic violence poses for abused mothers in terms of the ability to safely parent their children. Although the study is not without its limitations, it nevertheless indicates the need for a more holistic approach to safeguarding children within domestic violence settings. Moreover, it underscores the necessity for improving awareness about the prevalence and importance of domestic violence as a child safeguarding concern within social work training. Indeed, improved training would help to develop social workers' knowledge and understanding of service provisions and partner agencies, thus potentially improving practice in this critically important area.

“…Lipsky's research, conducted during the 1970s and 1980s, concluded that “poor people receive a qualitatively different kind of treatment from the state” and that because this is non‐voluntary for many of these clients, professionals had “nothing to lose by failing to satisfy clients” (, p. 54). It has been argued that children are even less likely to challenge the service they receive and tend to accept what adults tell them (Muench, Diaz, & Wright, ).…”

Despite the introduction of guidelines and procedures aimed at encouraging and supporting children and young people to complain about the services they receive, children in care still face barriers to doing so in practice. This paper explores what happens when children in care are dissatisfied with the services they receive. Specifically, this study examines the complaints procedure for children in care. The findings are based on semistructured interviews with children in care, social workers, senior managers, and independent reviewing officers from one English local authority. Thematic analysis of these data identified five emergent themes: (a) complaints by children in care are managed at the lowest possible level, (b) senior managers have an overly optimistic view about children in care being informed of complaint procedures and being encouraged to do so, (c) children in care are worried about complaining, which is recognized by professionals, (d) children's voices are often not heard, and (e) when issues are clearly defined, independent reviewing officers have some degree of success in resolving complaints from children in care.

“…Dilanjutkan dengan pendapat Muench et al, (2017), bahwa tanggung jawab melindungi anak-anak adalah Negara yang bertujuan untuk memastikan keselamatan anak, meningkatkan kesehatan, perkembangan anak, dan mengidentifikasi kapan seorang anak terus menghadapai resiko bahaya yang signifikan dalam kehidupannya. Namun pada kenyataannya masih terdapat anak yang tidak mendapatkan hak nya sebagai anak yaitu anak terlantar.…”
