The Crown will now consider adult sentences for offenders convicted of serious violent offences and require judges to allow the names be made public of these offenders who are convicted of violent offences even when they have been given youth sentences. Weaknesses: The law expanded the definition of violent crime to include reckless acts that don't actually cause harm. Young offenders will likely be incarnated and be held in prisons where they don’t belong instead of doing community services etc. Harsher and longer sentences may also turn these young offenders into hard time criminals as they will be labelled for life which will push away any chances from

With Reference to the CYP IAPT Core Principles, critically discuss Evidence Based Practice and Routine Outcome Monitoring and the challenges of implementing these within the modality of parenting and within the wider context of practise within the children centres Introduction Studies published by Green, Meltzer, McGinnity, Goodman and Ford in 2004 estimated that 9.6% or nearly 850,000 children and young people aged between 5 -16 had a mental health disorder and it was estimated that a staggering 76% of those CYP with anxiety and depression disorders were not accessing mental health services compared to 35% of adults. As a result of such studies, The children and young people’s improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme (CYP IAPT) was conceived and aimed to transform the delivery of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CHAMS) across England. CYP IAPT has four core principles, Evidence Based Practice (EBP), Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM), Participation, and Reflective Practice. This essay will focus on the two principles of EBP and ROM and will consider the challenges of implementing these within the modality of parenting and within the wider context of practise within the children centres.
The Care Act 2014 set out new responsibilities to promote new rights for residents/service users and carers. It also has an importance on wellbeing,prevention, integration of services and information and advocacy. This act makes it clear that the local authorities must provide or arrange services to help prevent a delay ingoing care and support. This may apply in data management practise as all organisations should have arrangements in place for sharing information between each other. - The Data Protection Act 1998
Families, children and young people have the right to live free from abuse, harm and neglect. If harm or abuse is suspected or alleged the child or young person has the right to be listened to, to be respected and to kept informed and be involved (where appropriate) in any decision making. †̃Anyone working with children should see and speak to the child; listen to what they say; take their views seriously; and work with them collaboratively when deciding how to support their needs.â€TM (Working Together to Safeguard Children) The Children Act 1989 requires that local authorities give due regard to a childâ€TMs wishes when determining what services to provide.
The roles and responsibilities of different agencies and practitioners working to with children and young people. The role of Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCB’s) The process to
Lord Laming produced a report called Every Child Matters which should ensure that each child should have their basic needs met i.e. food, water, warmth, be loved, feel safe respected and able to reach their full potential. The report has 5 outcomes: • being healthy: enjoying good physical and mental health and living a healthy lifestyle • staying safe: being protected from harm and neglect • enjoying and achieving: getting the most out of life and developing the skills for adulthood • making a positive contribution: being involved with the community and society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour • Economic well-being: not being prevented by economic disadvantage from achieving their full potential in life. The needs and views of the child must not go un-noticed by putting the needs of the adult first. The wishes and feelings of the child should be a priority.
This may be for a short period of time or until they are an adult. It stands a challenge for professionals and a commitment is required when planning to meet positive outcomes for the child. For this type of research, obtaining different results from a multiple-choice questionnaire, face-to-face interviews and surveys for all the children will provide data to support children retaining their identity and establishing positive contact with adults and professionals. To illustrate, collecting all this data at the earliest possible stage, will enable vulnerable children to participate in relevant interventions like therapy sessions, CAMHS etc.

In this essay I will be considering how innovations in theory, policy and research have influenced the development of coordination, partnership and integration in childhood practice in my childcare setting in Scotland. I will analyse the development of policies concerning children and young people in relation to my setting and the professional groups involved within my setting. This will include the introduction of building the ambition and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, which from 2016 will enforce the need for the named person to take any concerns seriously and report as required.

The ban on publishing the names of young offenders has been a hotly contested issue in recent years, and one that has been discussed in various countries around the world. Generally speaking, the argument for the ban is that it is the only way to protect the privacy and future prospects of young offenders, as well as to ensure that the criminal justice system does not disproportionately punish youth for their mistakes. On the other hand, the argument against the ban is that it hampers the public’s ability to make informed decisions about how to best protect themselves from potential harm, as well as allowing potential future offenders to go unchecked if their identities are not made public.
