Download or read book Review of the Office the Children s Commissioner England written by John Dunford and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dunford was asked to undertake a review of the office, role and functions of the Children's Commissioner for England. The review also examined the relationship with other Government-funded organisations carrying out related functions, and value for money. Chapter 1 explore the unique role of the Commissioner. The UK has obligations to meet as a result of being a signatory of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the role of the Commissioner is crucial to compliance with the Convention. In chapter two, the report recommends strengthening the remit, powers and independence of the Commissioner. Areas addressed include: children and young people's rights; focus on vulnerable groups; credibility; casework; independence; additional powers. The relationship with other organisations is the topic of chapter 3. It is recommended that the Office merges with the Children's Rights Director, currently located in Ofsted, with safeguards built in to protect the interests of vulnerable children covered by the CRD's remit. The Office is not expensive to run but has not yet provided value for money (chapter 4) principally due to the flaws in the present model. The proposed new model would provide that value for money in future, particularly with robust performance measurement to assess its impact. A new Office of the Children's Commissioner for England should be established through the merger. The review believes it will meet the Cabinet Office tests of technical expertise, impartiality and independence.

Download or read book Comparative Study on Mandates of National Human Rights Institutions in the Commonwealth written by Commonwealth Secretariat and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first Commonwealth-wide comparative study of national human rights institutions (NHRIs), and is designed to help everyone interested in establishing and developing NHRIs to improve their effectiveness. The study looks at the international framework for the protection of human rights, and the historical and political background to the establishment of NHRIs and ombudsman offices. The individual mandates of various institutions are considered, looking at them region by region. Finally, the study compares the normative framework and mandates of the NHRIs are analysed, comparing what NHRIs are empowered to do and what they are doing in practice, though value judgements as to the merits and demerits of individual named institutions are avoided. Rather than provide a detailed theoretical analysis, the study concentrates on helping practitioners and policy-makers improve the working of NHRIs in practice, and will be a useful tool both to the institutions themselves and to all those who wish to support them.

Download or read book Children the Law and the Welfare Principle written by Kerry O'Halloran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book continues the themes addressed by its two predecessors in this mini-series by examining the role of the principle of the welfare interests of the child in the law of the U.S. and Canada. It provides a record of the key milestones in its development in each country and conducts a comparative analysis of the contemporary law relating to children in both. In doing so, it focuses also on the Indigenous communities – the AN/AI and the First Nations – of the U.S. and Canada respectively. By identifying and analysing the functions of the principle in the public (care, protection and control, etc), private (matrimonial, adoption, etc) and hybrid (adoption from care, surrogacy, etc) sectors of family law, it builds a picture of the law relating to children in the two countries and reveals significant jurisdictional differences. By examining the legislation and related caselaw, it assesses the different effects of the same legal framework on the welfare of Indigenous and other children. In addition to a digest of cases and legislation that identifies and tracks the role of this legal principle, lawyers, academics and other researchers will find a wealth of information on how it has evolved to reflect corresponding changes in social mores. For those interested in politics and social policy, there is much illuminating evidence of how the law has balanced this principle relative to others in both civil and criminal contexts.
