This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This White Paper (Cm. 7293, Joint Birth Registration: Recording Responsibility, ISBN 9780101729321) sets out changes to the law in England and Wales to make joint birth registration a legal requirement for all unmarried parents unless this is decided by the registrar to be impossible, impracticable or unreasonable. The White Paper also sets out a series of non-legislative measures to promote and support joint birth registration and changes that give mothers a right to insist that the father acknowledges his responsibilities to his child by registering on the birth certificate and equally it gives a father the new right to insist that he is registered. For the Green Paper on this subject see (Cm.7160, ISBN 9780101716024).

This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current law automatically assumes married couples will be jointly registered on their child's birth certificate whereas unmarried parents both have to agree before a father's name can appear on the birth certificate. Sole registrations in England and Wales account for around seven per cent of birth registrations each year. They are often linked to social exclusion as mothers who register solely are likely to be younger, poorer and with lower levels of educational attainment than those who jointly register. Research indicates that fathers who officially acknowledge the birth of their child from the outset are more likely to stay in contact with that child if their relationship with the child's mother breaks down. Joint birth registration measures which require fathers to acknowledge paternity at birth could also underpin current cross-government work to improve parenting. This Green Paper sets out the Government's proposals to establish a new legislative requirement for joint registration of births, together with safeguards designed to protect the welfare of children and vulnerable mothers. The proposed changes seek to promote a culture in which the welfare of children is paramount and which places more equal weight on the relationship of both parents with their children. Together with the reforms of the child maintenance system set out in the Government's White Paper (Cm. 6979, ISBN 9780101697927), these proposals re-affirm the rights and responsibilities of parenthood for mothers and fathers, to ensure the best possible outcomes for children.
Download or read book Sole and Joint Birth Registration written by Jenny Graham and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a report of a study concerning the choices, circumstances and motivations which influence and underpin sole and joint birth registration. It consisted of two key elements, the first of which sought to investigate the characteristics of sole registrants compared to unmarried parents jointly registering; compare the characteristics of unmarried parents to those registering a birth within a marriage. Quantitative analysis of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) was used to fulfil these aims ... The [second element] sought to explore and provide understanding about the motivations driving the different birth registration types amongst unmarried parents ... Depth interviews with 41 unmarried parents were used to deliver this element. Parents from two English cities were interviewed including sole registrants, joint registrants and both mothers and fathers."--P. 1.

Download or read book Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ziba Vaghri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State’s progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children’s rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.

Download or read book Fortin s Children s Rights and the Developing Law written by Rachel E. Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion that children constitute an important group of rights holders has gained increasing acceptance both domestically and internationally. Nevertheless, this rhetorical commitment to children's rights is not necessarily realised in practice. Now in its fourth edition, Fortin's Children's Rights and the Developing Law explores the extent to which law and policy in England promotes or undermines the rights of children. Fully revised and updated, this textbook uses current research on child development and welfare to reflect on the extent to which the law fulfils children's rights in a wide range of areas, including medical law, education and child poverty. These developments are measured again the domestic law and the UK's international obligations under, for example, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Download or read book Support for all written by Great Britain: Department for Children, Schools and Families and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demographic and social changes of the last 30 or 40 years have been profound and have led to much greater diversity in family patterns. But the evidence is clear that it is strong, stable relationships between adults in the home - parents, grandparents and other caring adults - and among all these adults and the children in a family, that have the biggest impact on children's happiness and healthy development. This Green Paper sets out a wide range of measures to support all families as they bring up their children and to help families cope with times of stress and difficulty. The Paper's proposals aim to influence factors that can strengthen or weaken family life, such as the choices available about balancing employment with bringing up children; and how welcoming and accessible public services are to families of all kinds. It focuses mostly on supporting family relationships by enabling families to help themselves. It also considers the position of children and other family members when family relationships have broken down. Chapters include: Introduction; families today; what government is already doing to support families and family relationships; bringing up children; building strong family relationships and dealing with relationship pressures and breakdown; family relationships and employment; the role of public services; consultation questions and conclusions.
Download or read book Responsibility Law and the Family written by Jo Bridgeman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on moral, social and legal responsibilities as opposed to rights or obligations, this volume explores the concept of responsibility in family life, law and practice. Divided into four parts, the study considers the nature of family responsibility; constructions of children's responsibilities; shifting conceptions of family responsibilities; and family, responsibility and the law. The collection brings together leading experts from the disciplines of sociology, socio-legal studies and law to discuss responsibilities prior to birth, responsibilities for children, as well as responsibilities of children and of the state towards family members. The volume informs and challenges the developing conceptualization of responsibilities which arise in interdependent, intimate and caring relationships and their legal regulation. It will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners working in this complex field.
