我们概述了对英格兰和威尔士的综合儿童系统 (ICS) 四个试点地点进行的形成性评估中选定的核心结果，ICS 是英国电子政务战略的一部分。我们专注于 ICS 的愿望，即在地方和国家层面上实现儿童服务的“一体化”和“系统化”。我们反过来考虑使用 ICS 作为总体统计概况的基础；社会工作者的经验和观点；以及 ICS 对社会工作实践的影响（以社会工作者的时间利用为例）。证据表明，在这些领域中实现政府政策愿望时存在重大问题。我们审查了这些问题的可能原因，并建议对 ICS 进行审查，因为这些困难是固有的而不是暂时的，并且至少部分是由于 ICS 是否适合目标的不确定性而引起的。作者试图促进这种性质的重大创新所需要的公开和深思熟虑的辩论。
We outline selected central results from a formative evaluation of four pilot sites in England and Wales of the Integrated Children's System (ICS) - one part of the UK's e-Government strategy. We concentrate on the aspiration of the ICS towards ‘integration’ and ‘systematization’ of services within children's services, at local and national levels. We look in turn at, the use of the ICS as a foundation for aggregate statistical profiles; the experience and views of the social workers; and the implications of ICS for social work practice as exemplified in social workers' use of time. The evidence suggests substantial problems in accomplishing government policy aspirations in each of these areas. We review the likely reasons for these problems, and recommend a review of the ICS on the grounds that the difficulties are inherent rather than transitory, and have arisen at least in part from uncertainty as to whether the ICS is fit for purpose. The authors seek to promote the open and thoughtful debate that a major innovation of this nature requires.
