What Are The Key Stakeholders In Childcare

Children are being robbed of their childhood by corporations, that do not care about them. These corporations turn a blind eye towards the dissatisfying life, that is led by these children. They do not care about the children's education or the manner in which they grow up, and they expose them to harsh physical labor and unsatisfactory pay. These children are robbed of the years in which they should lead a normal child's life, and they don't get to truly enjoy being a child. These children are exposed to unhealthy situations to both the body and the mind,situations that a child should not be involved in. They are often unable to pursue proper academic studies, because of their jobs, and this could be because they aren't allowed to study, or simply that the lifestyle they lead doesn't allow them to study. On the other hand, children working at a younger age helps them shape an appreciation for hard work, and they learn to value money and time. Working at an early age also helps shape the economy of the third world countries that these children work

Specific programmes like Corporate Parenting training or the support and advice for kinship carers. "An organisation's performance of actions necessary to uphold the rights and safeguard the well being of a looked after child or care leaver, and through which physical, emotional, spiritual, social and educational development is promoted.” (Scottish Government, 2015) This evolves collaborative key individuals working together to identify what needs to be done, and to work how to do it.

I believe that collaborative working within early childhood practice is an essential part of working with children to ensure that individual needs of children are met as they arise. Each agency should see this as an important

Research from Child Care Aware of America found that in 2013, the average yearly cost for center-based care for infants was higher than the average annual tuition and fees at four-year public colleges in 31 states. The lack of on-campus childcare and reduced government funding, means student parents have to make their own childcare

This chain effects everyone in the world, not only women. This system effects the poverished, the rich, the young, the old, and most of all, it effects families. These women and taken away from their families so they can come work for deathly families. If they were not able to do this their children may not be able to get an education, or eat. They help with everyday issues. They help raise these children in first world countries. While their families benefit from the extra income, there is a great emotional strain. They suffer by not getting to see their families, they miss their children birthdays, they miss everything. Their families are also impacted because they mother, who does most of the household chores, is absent. Someone has to pick up this work. Is it going to be the husband, who works all day? Or the

The values and principles that underpin the childcare sector work along side the laws, rules and regulations that I follow in my everyday work at my setting. They govern things such as how many children can attend my setting, how many staff I have working each day, making sure that the children’s wants and needs are met and that they are always the main focus of any planning I do. For myself it means that I have to always make sure that I keep myself up to date with any changes in these laws and regulations and that I keep myself up to date with any training so I can always provide the best possible care I can. When planning I try to use many different curriculum’s but always making sure that they are flexible and is based upon the values

Without paying jobs, workers couldn't even afford to feed their families, causing them all to suffer the impacts of growing unemployment rates and failing businesses.

Poverty is the main reason for child labour. Poor households need the money, which their children can earn. Children contribute to 20 – 25 % of family income. It is obvious that the survival of certain families depends on the children’s earnings.

For the collaboration portion of my project I chose to collaborate with the daycare director and 10 parents of the children who attend the daycare. The role of the director was to inform me and help me to better understand how their policies work and how they respond to policy change. The parent’s role in this collaboration process included giving me feedback and ideas on what changes they would like to see and what they already like about the current policy. In order to obtain the information I needed for this project, I met with the director and parents of the children on many different occasions to observe and interview the parents and staff members. Also when meeting with the director and parents we discussed my observations and ideas that

When families need child care for their children, it is important they get the child care that they need. Children who have spent more time in a child care have results from their experience. They will more likely show results including better math and reading scores, and social skills as well.

Currently there are 168 million child laborers in the world. More than half of them, 85 million, employed at hazardous jobs, according to the International Labour Organization. In the article “In Praise of Cheap Labor Bad jobs at bad wages are better than no jobs at all”, Paul Krugman Professor of economics at MIT, explains that child labor cannot just be wiped away like so many other distasteful practices. That it takes a perfect storm of economic success and low child labor numbers for a full transition to labor laws that ban it. Employers will agree to follow the law; similar to what happened in the U.S. in the 1930’s when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. This Act established standards for the basic minimum wage and overtime pay. It restricts the hours that children under age 16 can work and forbids the employment of children under age 18 in certain jobs deemed too dangerous. Krugman believes that many developing countries are not at a point where they can support a full ban on child labor. He gives the example of countries like “Indonesia [who are,] still so poor that progress is measured in terms of how much the average person gets to eat” (Krugman 4). Professor of economics at Yale university, Christopher Udry, in his article “Child Labor” provides a definition of child labor as “ the sacrifice of the future welfare of the child in exchange for additional income” (243). The causes of Child labor are not as simple as cultural or economic reasons, and a

The two topics I have chosen to advocate for are equal access childcare for all children and providing children and families with adequate resources to help them in any way they need.
