Download or read book House of Commons Education Committee Residential Childrens Homes HC 716 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Education Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Education Committee recommends that children in care should be found residential homes in their own areas and local authorities should ensure that they have enough suitable placements to make this possible. The Committee was concerned at the number of children being placed in homes far from their own communities and families, and the Government should look at the impact of introducing a 20 mile limit on placements to increase incentives on local authorities to develop more facilities. It is also a matter of great concern that children are being placed in homes located in unsuitable and dangerous areas. The Government must act if its latest reforms do not adequately address this problem. The report also calls for: better training and development of the workforce in children's homes to ensure that staff and managers have the skills and outlook to create a culture which promotes the safety and welfare of children living in them; a national protocol that allows children's homes to deal with incidents of challenging behaviour to avoid the over-criminalisation of children; children to be given a greater role in selecting residential care workers.

Download or read book Child sexual exploitation and the response to localised grooming written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reveals results of the inquiry into children being treated in an appalling way not just by their abusers but, because of catastrophic failures by the very agencies that society has appointed to protect them. It is still happening, in every part of the country. The quality of the response to the abuse depends on where you live and that is inexcusable. Race is a factor but it is one of many in cases of child sexual exploitation. Officials who fail to act, for example in places like Rotherham or Rochdale, must not be allowed to evade responsibility through early retirement or resignation for other reasons and should not be paid compensation of any kind. The police, social services and the Crown Prosecution Service must all bear responsibility for the way in which vulnerable children have been left unprotected by the system. The Ministry of Justice ought to implement a number of reforms to court processes including section 28 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999; the introduction of specialist courts either for child sexual exploitation cases or for sexual offences as a whole; and invite the Lord Chief Justice to consider recommending to the Judicial College that specific training on child sexual exploitation cases be developed and provided

Download or read book Safeguarding from Extremism written by Jaswant Singh Boora and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001 in New York and on July 7th 2005 in London were devastating. The London terrorist attacks executed by four British home-grown terrorists sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Since then, the risk and threat of home-grown terrorists have increased, especially towards the recruitment and radicalisation of vulnerable children and young people, as seen with Islamic State. This raises further questions pertaining to the safeguarding, well-being and protection of vulnerable children and young people from these extremist and terrorist groups. This book seeks to open up these discussions and challenges in these counter-terrorism and safeguarding realms, within a British context. It offers a range of publications, research, views and perspectives that provide a fresh analysis of the problems that we face within a safeguarding context since the attacks in 2005. This book is geared to those in particular from social work and social care disciplines, with wider relevance for all sectors working with these groups. Mr Boora’s new book gives an illuminating insight into some of the challenges faced by professionals, practitioners, managers, services and organisations within this rapidly developing agenda. This ranges from understanding safeguarding responsibilities, what is extremism, the Prevent agenda and terrorism legislation to current MI5 security concerns and inter-agency responses. This research seeks to clear up misunderstandings and misconceptions and to sharpen the focus where many can prioritise their efforts. ‘Boora has produced a timely and relevant primer on the intersection of safeguarding and radicalisation, written from the perspective of a very experienced practitioner in this field. It will provoke much needed thought and discussion’ Dr Gary Manders, Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology, University of Bedfordshire ‘Jaswant has executed an excellent contribution towards understanding the current concerns of extremism affecting children and young people. A good read for all professionals working in these sectors’..
