Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 is one of the most highly ratified human rights treaties in the world, with 192 states currently signed up to it. Article Twelve is fundamental to the Convention and states that all children capable of forming views have the right to express those views, and recognises that all children have the right to be heard in any judicial and administrative proceedings affecting them. This book explores the historical and theoretical background to Article Twelve, and examines the various models of participation which have been created to facilitate a better understanding of this provision. Aisling Parkes analyzes the extent to which Article Twelve has been implemented under international law, and in domestic law, as well as setting-out recommendations for the most effective ways of implementing Article Twelve in all areas of children’s lives.

Download or read book Representation of consumer interests in Wales written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Welsh Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer advocacy plays an important part in the Welsh economy. Organisations including Consumer Focus Wales and Citizens Advice represent consumers' interests in their dealings with businesses, industry regulators and the UK and Welsh Governments. A significant aspect of their work is to ensure that consumers receive a fair deal in their daily lives. Advocacy is particularly important to those termed the most vulnerable in Welsh society. The Government announced its plans in October 2010 to abolish Consumer Focus Wales and to transfer some or all of its functions to Citizens Advice Cymru. The final decision will be taken once Ministers have considered the findings of the public consultation. But this delay has caused on going uncertainty and the Committee calls on the Government to publish without delay its detailed plans. MPs are not wholly persuaded by the Government's reasons for abolishing Consumer Focus Wales, but recognise that given the current financial situation there is a strong case for examining whether consumer interests are represented in the most efficient and cost-effective way. However, the Government should provide guarantees that the best features of Consumer Focus Wales are protected in any successor body, including: statutory independence from interference by ministers or its parent organization; a "Welsh focus" and the present level of funding. As consumer matters fall increasingly under the responsibility of the National Assembly for Wales, the committee calls for a review, on whether to devolve responsibility for consumer affairs to the National Assembly for Wales and that The Commission on Devolution in Wales should consider this matter when it reviews the powers of the National Assembly for Wales

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law presents cutting-edge scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in law, medicine, social work, sociology, education, and philosophy, and by practitioners in law and medicine. An international collection of authors presents and analyzes the law and science pertaining to reproduction; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion); parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, the status of gamete donors, and surrogacy); infant development and vulnerability; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect); child protection policy and systems; foster care; child custody disputes between parents or between parents and other caregivers; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulation of private schools, and homeschooling); delinquency; minimum-age laws; and child advocacy. Most chapters follow a format wherein they first describe the most debated or dynamic issues in each topical area, then explain in depth the law and/or science pertaining to the author's particular focus, and finally offer arguments and recommendations as to law and policy in that area. The normative component aims to advance discussions and debates in vital areas of contemporary child welfare law and policy. The Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.

Download or read book The use of restraint in secure training centres written by Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on Human Rights and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-03-07 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secure Training Centre (Amendment) Rules (SI 2007/1709, ISBN 9780110773742) which amended the Secure Taining Centre Rules 1998 (SI 1998/472, ISBN 9780110656083) came into force in July 2007 without Parliamentary debate. They amend the existing Rules to permit Secure Training Centres (STCs) to use force against detained children and young people to "ensure good order and discipline". The Amendment Rules were criticised and the Government promised a review. A judicial review of the Amendment Rules by the High Court, held that they represented a "significant change in policy" The Joint Committee on Human Rights considers in this report their compatibility with the UK's human rights obligations. Restraint allowed in STCs is known as Physical Control in Care (PCC) and comprises a range of restraint holds and so called "distraction techniques" The Minister of Justice, for the Department of Justice, states the Government does not sanction violence against children, but the Committee considers that this is the effect of current UK law. In the Committee's view the Amendment Rules have created more confusion and have widened the scope for the use of force in an unacceptable manner. It recommends new Amendment Rules to make clear that physical restraint is not permissable for the purposes of good order and discipline and recommends careful monitoring of the effect of the Amendment Rules with regular reports by Government to Parliament on the number of restraint incidents. The Committee does welcome the creation of the Youth Justice Unit along with the re-establishment of the Medical Review Panel and also welcomes the Government's suspension of two restaint techniques in December 2007. The Committee further recommends the abolition of all distraction techniques and suggests a series of measures to ensure compliance by STCs with human rights standards as well as the publication of the PCC training manual in full and disseminated to all staff who use restraint.
