Download or read book Safeguarding and Promoting the Well being of Children Families and Communities written by Jane Scott and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2005-09-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving the well-being of children is more effective when social care professionals work with the children's parents, families and communities. This collection brings together innovative interventions designed to nurture children's health and welfare, and analyses which types of programmes are most effective and why. The contributors explore the impact of poverty on children's development and assess national initiatives set up to assess and reduce need. They present examples from the UK, US, Canada and Australia of specific interventions to counter or prevent difficulties in the domains of child development, parenting capacity and wider environmental factors. Many contributions demonstrate the importance of engaging with service users and helping communities to shape and direct their own programmes for change. The final section of the book presents useful approaches to assessing and evaluating services. Demonstrating the need for close inter-agency collaboration and `joined up' services, this book is essential reading for policy makers, managers and practitioners in child welfare agencies, and social work academics and students.

Download or read book Feeding the Future written by Jennifer Geist Rutledge and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, only local charities existed to feed children. Today 368 million children receive school lunches in 151 countries, in programs supported by state and national governments. In Feeding the Future, Jennifer Geist Rutledge investigates how and why states have assumed responsibility for feeding children, chronicling the origins and spread of school lunch programs around the world, starting with the adoption of these programs in the United States and some Western European nations, and then tracing their growth through the efforts of the World Food Program. The primary focus of Feeding the Future is on social policy formation: how and why did school lunch programs emerge? Given that all countries developed education systems, why do some countries have these programs and others do not? Rutledge draws on a wealth of information—including archival resources, interviews with national policymakers in several countries, United Nations data, and agricultural statistics—to underscore the ways in which a combination of ideological and material factors led to the creation of these enduringly popular policies. She shows that, in many ways, these programs emerged largely as an unintended effect of agricultural policy that rewarded farmers for producing surpluses. School lunches provided a ready outlet for this surplus. She also describes how, in each of the cases of school lunch creation, policy entrepreneurs, motivated by a commitment to alleviate childhood malnutrition, harnessed different ideas that were relevant to their state or organization in order to funnel these agricultural surpluses into school lunch programs. The public debate over how we feed our children is becoming more and more politically charged. Feeding the Future provides vital background to these debates, illuminating the history of food policies and the ways our food system is shaped by global social policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NORA BROOKE has never been in love. Like most people, she has no memory of her previous lifetimes, or the soulmate she returns to in between lifetimes. The invisible world of she - and he-fairy entities is growing impatient with Nora's bad luck through centuries of misery and loneliness. With their help, this is about to change. Thirty-five years old and single - Nora considers a vacation. It is a decision that is about to turn her upside down, where she lands in Riga, Latvia on the coast of the Baltic Sea. OSKAR EGLE is about to change his life from a stranger innocently bumping into Nora's shoulder to becoming her closest friend, lover and husband. Not so quickly - though, Oskar's Aunt Kara - an evil fairy in disguise of a normal human being emerges from the dead carcass of a cat and wants nothing more than to interfere. With her team of crows and bats hidden in the midst of the normal world, Kara will stop at nothing short of bending fate. Kara's war on the unification of soulmates transforms her to an entity smaller than a pinhead on the bank of the River Daugava. IF YOU WANT TO fall in love, read this book.

Excerpt from The Fairyselves: IF ONE STARES TOO INTENTLY at the constellations littered across a black velvet sky, they appear to move. When such things actually move, it is usually just one, and its tail blazes in a trail of fireworks. Everyone is amazed. It's how we know the eyes are not playing tricks on the brain. FAIRIES ARE LIKE THIS. If we have opportunity to see them, we are amazed. In matters of logic, we might certainly question if what we saw was actually real, or our imagination. Babies, toddlers - even those minds trapped in far away places suddenly rise from the living dead to see a blaze of sparkles and wings. Fairies, yes.

Download or read book Science Research and Education in Africa written by Alain L. Fymat and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For various economic and political reasons, many African countries lag behind the rest of the industrialised world in scientific and medical research and development. However, the presence of intellectual islands scattered across the continent gives hope that this is only a transient situation on the cusp of undergoing a profound and beneficial change. For this reason, the Society for the Advancement of Science in Africa was established to catalyse and contribute to this needed evolution. Its mission is to contribute to Africa’s economic advancement and sustainability through science research, education and innovation. This book provides a selection of papers from the Advancement of Science in Africa’s third annual conference. The conference was held under the overarching theme of ‘science research and education in Africa’, with several important sub-themes, including but not limited to: improving health research and disease surveillance education; epidemic diseases with high mortality; promoting women’s interest in science careers; fostering youth development with science education. The collection illustrates how although the chapter contributors come from various countries and universities, representing their own academic research, they all share a common interest in advancing science research and education in Africa.
