The environment in which young people are growing up has changed significantly with the growth in social communication, changes in migration patterns and the proliferation of gangs. These changes pose a real and present danger to the health and well-being of young people in the UK and around the world. However, recognition of the safeguarding needs for this group continues to lag behind those of younger children and services often remain patchy and incomplete. We present a review of current safeguarding concerns as well as practical suggestions on their recognition and response for professionals working with young people in all branches of healthcare as well as education and wider society.
随着社会交往的增加、迁移模式的改变和帮派的泛滥，年轻人成长的环境发生了重大变化。这些变化对英国乃至全世界年轻人的健康和福祉构成了现实而直接的威胁。然而，人们对这一群体的保护需求的认识仍然落后于对年幼儿童的认识，服务往往仍然参差不齐且不完整。我们对当前保护年轻人的关注进行了综述，并就如何识别和应对这些问题提出了一些实际建议，这些建议适用于在医疗保健、教育和更广泛的社会领域与年轻人打交道的专业人士。
