Download or read book Child Protection written by Freda Briggs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '.a valuable resource book for teachers, child care workers and school administrators on preventing, identifying and handling cases of child abuse and neglect. [It includes] a unique international perspective on child protection.' Associate Professor Sandy K Wurtele, University of Colorado 'Many books stop at the what should be done, but this book goes beyond that to tell us the how. It is sound, practical and most welcomed.' Wilma Bartlett, The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, UK Teachers and early childhood workers are the only professionals in contact with abused children for long periods of time. Although they are seldom aware of their importance, they can provide the child's best defence against abuse. Abused children exhibit identifiable behaviours and perform less well in school than their peers. Educators and caregivers can learn to observe children's development and respond to their special needs. Schools have always taken responsibility for teaching children to stay safe from traffic, fire, water and electricity. They are also in the best position for teaching children to stay safe with people. Child Protection is a comprehensive guide to the common forms of child abuse and neglect. It offers practical help for the identification of child abuse and neglect and the support of the child victims and, in particular, the provision of curriculum for child protection. Freda Briggs, formerly a teacher and social worker is Professor Child Development at the University of South Australia. She is also the author of From Victim To Offender, Why My Child?, Developing Personal Safety Skills In Children With Disabilities, Keep Children Safe and Child Sexual Abuse: Confronting The Problem. Russell Hawkins is a psychologist in private practice and a senior lecturer in Psychology at the University of South Australia.

This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - Nursery Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, grade: 71, University of Cumbria, course: Secondary Maths Teaching with QTS, language: English, abstract: Children are a valuable resource, in a plethora of ways. One could see them rather crudely as being just useful for the economy: in that they can be relied upon to fill positions and jobs which have been left by those who have retired and become dependent on their younger counterparts. However, this viewpoint seemingly demeans the wider use of children, one which is acknowledged by Unicef (2012) in their authoritative document stipulating The Rights of the Child, as they list a total of 54 articles which refer to the rights of children, including how adults and governments can collaborate to ensure that they are safely provided for. The document proceeds to emanate a series of things which must be in place for children to fulfill their potential and become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society. Alluding to the holistic movement of education which is seemingly so prevalent in modern times, the article converses of the commodities/provisions which children should have access to: ranging from basic rudimentary articles such as food and shelter, to things which are deeper in nature: i.e. to be stimulated in all the right ways and to receive correct nurturing and support which will facilitate their well-being to the optimum level. In line with eminent psychological theory often cited in education, a child needs to have access to fundamental needs like sustenance and a fixed abode before they can reach a state of well-being, and perhaps even the feted level of self-actualisation, where they are at one with themselves (Maslow, 1970). This influences the importance of securing a child’s well-being due to their fragility and importance for the future. This assignment will specifically focus on what exactly an EYP can do to support a child’s development, whilst assessing how public policy has been implemented to safeguard the rights of a child, with a particular focus on how all children can be catered for.
