The case of ‘Katelynn Sampson’ is one of the several sad cases that we often hear of which always leads to the laws surrounding children’s safety be amended or developed. I find it disturbing that a young child’s life had to be taken for proper recommendations ensuring the safety of children is done. I deem the suggestions to do compulsory training for children’s aid workers and law enforcement; extension to children’s aid society hours and corresponding communications between them and others involved in the child’s life are great. However, the recommendation for social workers to work with students without parental consent seems a little extreme to me. I consider this proposal should be based on the students age as many parents will

Sally is a 14 year old girl who is now living in a local authority children’s unit and has been living here for the past 18 months due to concerns raised by her school that she may be the subject of abuse. Following the nature of these concerns there is a process and policies and procedures that must be followed by the professionals involved in local authorities to insure Sally’s safety and protect her from any possible harm.

Ensuring children and young people’s safety and welfare in the work setting is an essential part of safeguarding. While children are at school, practitioners act in ‘loco parentis’ while their parents are away. As part of their legal and professional obligations, practitioners hold positions of trust and a duty of care to the children in their school, and therefore should always act in their best interests and ensure their safety – the welfare of the child is paramount (Children Act 1989). The Children Act 2004 came in with the Every Child Matters (ECM) guidelines and greatly impacted the way schools look at the care and welfare of pupils. Children and young people should be helped to learn and thrive and be given the opportunity to

Therefore in this scenario, the LA have the duty to investigate the number of concerns which have come up about Ewan and Callum. The red flags in this scenario are that Ewan, who is 9, and Callum, who is 13, have both suffered physically with bruises and a black eye. Both of their school attendances are poor and they have been acting aggressively during school. Ewan was also looking underweight and does not socialise with his friends. More concerns are that it is difficult getting into contact with their mother, Julie. The family house is not a healthy or happy environment as it is very untidy and dirty, Julie’s boyfriend also threatened the social worker Boris. Boris also stated that Julie was agitated which may indicate mental health problems or that she is a drug abuser. All this information is extremely alarming, therefore the LA have the duty of investigating this and protecting the children from harm.

The Children Act 2004 has information about the different services that children and young people are entitled to. Local authorities and other bodies and requires that they work together in improving the well-being of children in the local area (Childrensrightswales.org.uk, 2015). This legislation came into place after the incident with involved Victoria Climbie who was abused by an older man. Her non-accidental injuries were reported to child protection authorizes, however an investigation was not fully carried out. There were many occasions that show the failings of the system, different people let her down. As a result of this case, The Children Act 2004 came about. The GPs had a responsibility to keep in contact with the social services

Growing up, and negotiating her identity is a painful and traumatic process for Vanessa Woods because of her relationship with her mother and her sense of foreign-ness. Her mother has high expectations and expects Vanessa to become a doctor, following in the footsteps of her cousin David who gained the perfect score of 99.9. “It is the ultimate aspiration for any Chinese mother to have a child who is a lawyer or a doctor”.

Working together to safeguard children 2006 was a revised document which provided an update on safeguarding and the national framework to help services for children and agencies to work individually and also together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. It was also further revised in 2010 and also applies to those working in education, health and social services as well as the police and the probation service. It is relevant to those working with children and their families in the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors. It is not necessary for all practitioners to read every part of Working Together to Safeguard Children in order to understand the principles and to perform their roles effectively. However, those who work regularly with children and young people and who may be asked to contribute to assessments of children and young people in need and should know the relevant sections of this document. The vetting and barring scheme was introduced in October 2009 with the aim of preventing unsuitable people from working with children and young people. It assured anybody working or volunteering with children would have to register with the independent safeguarding authority (ISA). The ISA will make the decision whether someone is suitable or not to work with children and young people, they base their decisions on information sources like a criminal record bureau checks which gives full record of the individual’s criminal record,

It is a criminal offence for an employer to not complete the CRB process on an employee. It is also a criminal offence to employ an individual they know is inappropriate to work with children, young people or vulnerable people. This act is updated in the ‘Protection of Children’s Act 1999’ and the ‘Criminal Justice and Court Service Act 2000’. The latter contains the list of convictions which bars individuals from working with children, young people and vulnerable people.

We often associate the use cell phones while attending school as a huge distraction and something that should be forbidden by all schools.

On March 14, 2016, I was assigned this case to follow up. This investigation involves Ms. Erica Nicole Chapman a student at Minnie Howard School.

Smartphones have become a part of everyone’s body. Almost everything can be done through smart phones. Paying bills, doing grocery, buying food, and more time consuming tasks can all be done almost instantly by smartphones. Many jobs and institutions today do not allow the use of smartphones during a certain time, especially schools. Prohibition of cell phones in school is a good idea to prevent students from getting distracted. However, high school students should be allowed to access their cell phones at school, because high school students are mature enough to use their cell phones productively and beneficially. Having access to internet is very important to high school students. Many students could not afford to have all kinds of devices, such as laptop, tablets, and cell phones. Entirely banning the usage of cell phones can make students hate the school causing them to be more arrogant.

Have you ever got your phone taken away? You would probably be mad. On the other hand, you might think that it was your fault for trying to do something that you know you couldn't pull off. I am here to discuss that either phone should or shouldn't be used in school hours. I think phones should be used during school hours. There are very important needs for one. If you forgot something, I could call your mom/dad to come and bring it to you. Also you can use it for emergency. For example, there cold be a breakout in a science lab in high school. The fire is spreading and going down the middle school hallways. If you here about it on time you could save a lot a lives. Luckily, you had you phone on and you call the fireman.
