对社会工作实践的研究和对从业人员被认为未能保护儿童和弱势成年人的案件的调查，主要集中在审查和改变组织系统和专业间沟通。这在很大程度上留下了从业者在办公室以外、在街上和在家访中不得不做的工作的经历。在提供这样的分析时，论文认为，我们需要从街道和服务使用者家中所需的散步和其他身体动作的角度来思考社会工作，并唤起深刻影响工作开展方式的冒险和氛围。本文从理论上借鉴了新的“流动”方法，并对社会工作者过去和现在从事这项工作的经验进行了研究。通过对移动的、活生生的实践经验的分析，可以对风险有更深的理解--我称之为实践风险--涉及专业人员是否符合良好实践的要求，方法是环顾四周，走向儿童，正确地与他们一起看、摸、听和走，以确保他们在此地、此地、在这个家访中、在这个诊所或医院病房完全参与和安全。
Research into social work practice and inquiries into cases in which practitioners are deemed to have failed to protect children and vulnerable adults are predominantly focused on examining and changing organisational systems and inter-professional communication. This leaves largely unaddressed practitioners' experiences of the work they have to do that goes on beyond the office, on the street and in doing the home visit. In providing such an analysis, the paper argues that we need to think about social work in terms of the walks and other bodily movements that are required on the streets and in the homes of service users and evoke the adventures and atmospheres that deeply influence how the work is carried out. The paper draws theoretically on the new ‘mobilities’ approach and on my research into social workers' experiences of doing the work, past and present. Analysis of the mobile, lived experience of practice enables deeper understandings of risk to emerge-what I call practice risks-which concern whether professionals meet the requirements of good practice by looking around homes, walking towards children to properly see, touch, hear and walk with them to ensure they are fully engaged with and safe, here and now, on this home visit, or in this clinic or hospital ward.
