Each of us is only one person, but one person determined to act is powerful. Moments can multiply into movements and create groundswells of change. Make It Zero is your moment. Be inspired. Be empowered. Help bring hope to every child.
Download or read book Safeguards for Vulnerable Children written by Marian Stuart and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study on abusers outlines what is known about the extent and nature of sexual abuse of children, what action is being taken to tackle the problem and what treatment and supervision is available for abusers. It highlights the substantial new threat posed by the Internet and concludes that 'a massive rethink of policy is needed on how to tackle this very serious and growing problem'. The study on disabled children focuses on their vulnerability; the criminal justice system, including the continued failure to prosecute those who have abused children; and the poor levels of information abd statistics about disabled children. The authors argue that society is in denial about the vulnerability of disabled children. The third study deals with the most vulnerable group of children - those in prison - at a time when the issue is highly topical. The study covers the extent to which children and young people are imprisoned and discusses their conditions and rights in prison. Despite recent attempts to improve the latter, it concludes, as did People Like Us, that 'prison is no place for children'.

After detailing the characteristics of parents and children who may be in need of specialized services, the authors describe different approaches to service delivery in theory and practice, provide case examples and exercises, and address the developments in interprofessional education for those currently working in the field.

Download or read book Working with Vulnerable Children Young People and Families written by Graham Brotherton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential for early intervention to prevent social problems later in life has become the focus of much debate in recent years and finds itself at the centre of contemporary social policy. The meaning of ‘vulnerability’ – one of the key concepts in this drive – is examined in this book, as well as the relationship between vulnerability and the individual, communities and society.

Adopting a case study approach, it opens with chapters examining the concept of vulnerability from sociological, psychological and social policy perspectives before looking at examples around disability, homelessness, leaving care, victims of violence, sexual abuse, prison, the Internet and drug use. Supporting students in engaging with and evaluating the conceptualisation and application of vulnerability in professional practice, this book is suitable for anyone either preparing for or currently working within the children’s workforce, from social work and health care to education and youth work.

It is both thought provoking and informative, providing what I consider to be a useful reference which can be utilised to help staff understand more clearly (and thus respond more confidently to) some of the challenging issues which can arise as a result of safeguarding work.

Download or read book Protecting Children written by Liz Davies and published by Lonely Scribe. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child protection is an issue that concerns us all. Recent legislation and important guidance such as Working Together (2010) recognise that in order to safeguard vulnerable children in our community, everyone who works with children and families has a role to play. The scope of responsibility stretches from social workers and teachers to police officers, voluntary workers and faith groups. 'Protecting Children' is a resource for all those who need an awareness of child protection issues and procedures. In a straightforward, accessible manner, it introduces the key legislation, the agencies and organisations involved in safeguarding and, crucially, what you need to do if you suspect a young person is being harmed. It also provides a breakdown of the four different categories of child abuse: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. It is all too easy to avoid personal involvement in the task of child protection: suspected abuse calls up a strong emotional response and can be difficult to think about. In 'Protecting Children', Liz Davies, Senior Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, provides the facts and resources which can help everyone to play their part in changing children's lives for the better. The 2010 edition brings the book right up to date with recent changes in legislation and processes.

It outlines the ways in which agencies have worked to prevent child abuse and neglect and traces key changes in UK policy, as well as situating these amid wider trends in Europe. With contributions from a wide variety of disciplines, including philosophy and anthropology, this is a uniquely diverse collection of academic perspectives. This book challenges our conceptions of child protection and encourages readers to think critically about why children are harmed by adults, how society views child abuse and how this informs practice.
