I thank you for your lengthy Judgement dated:
I welcome your judgement, and I appreciate that you are the only Judge that has expressed concern about the length of time my case has been going on unresolved.
I am delighted you have pointed out the children’s right, and the importance of having a balanced upbringing, by having both parents in their lives.
Being in Court is very nerve-racking, I apologise deeply if the impression I gave in Court was agitated, which was due to the importance and sensitivity of that Court hearing, determining the future relationship between my children and I.

They considered that the most powerful and direct influences lay within the family and the home and that any measures used to ‘treat’ children and therefore change their behaviour had to involve where possible working closely with parents. A form of social education was required which sought to strengthen, support and build on the existing family resources by working persuasively and cooperatively with children and parents helping them towards a fuller understanding of their situation. On 15 April 1971 children’s hearings took over

The primary objective of the statutory agency I work within is the provision of intervention to prevent family breakdown and reduce the number of children and young people going into care. As a result of the agency intervention it aims to make a positive contribution to the lives of young people and their families, by promoting healthy lifestyles, building capabilities and strengthening families’ relationships. The main Legal and Policy Mandate the organisation works within is the Children Act (CA) 1989-2004 and section 17’ Child in need’.
The Children Act 2004 stats that the welfare of children and young people are paramount in all considerations of safeguarding which is everyone's responsibility. Safeguarding can only be achieved by improving working together to deliver more integrated services for children and young people which included health, education and development, safety and economic circumstances. The legislation is aimed at improving children and young people live for services to work in partnership. This targets universal services that children access and specialist services that are accessed by those that have additional
During periods of transition children need practitioners who are able to recognise the importance of attachment and emotional well-being and who are able to identify the needs of each individual child and their family.
As family structure has changed in the UK, so child care arrangements have become more diverse and complex. What are the implications of these changes for children?
The SW explained about the Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015 guidance (HM Government). This is a guide that outlines how organisations and individuals, including SW’s should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and how practitioners should conduct the assessment of children. Crucial in the guidance is the focus on children’s needs which are paramount (para 6) and should be prioritised at the earliest opportunity to reduce risk and prevent a problem from escalating.

It was further recognised however that home was not always the best place for young children to develop. Serious concerns were highlighted surrounding the options to state offered provision. Children could be left unattended or in the hands of a neighbour or professional 'minder'. Both options were considered unsatisfactory and it was decided that good quality state provision could be achieved with commitment in four categories; The premises, curriculum, apparatus and staff.
It is also stated in current Partnership Policies that fathers or mothers that live apart from their child, but those that still play a part in their children’s lives are also included in the settings plans, for example letters to parents are sent to both mother and fathers addresses, both are invited to social events and meetings which promotes inclusion and gives both parents an opportunity to input into their child’s learning. ( POLICY) All parents are made aware of the setting’s policies
1) Give a brief outline of current legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures within own UK Home Nation affecting the safeguarding of children and young people.
Educator/Staff needs Educators need to understand the enrolment process; time to get to know families before children start fulltime care; parent support in introducing children to the centre; time to develop close professional relationships with families; support from referral agencies; information about custodial issues.

For example, communication is used with learning information about the children but also to work together to create goals and overcome obstacles that may arise. According to Halgunseth and Peterson (2009), communication between the families and child care centers should be constant and should include information about the child's home life and about school life. This creates an environment that is similar in values and goals as well. By communicating with the parents, caregivers are able to learn about the child and also create a relationship with the parents. By creating a relationship with the child's parents through having conversations when the child is dropped off and picked up, I will create an environment that is family orientated. I will organize family gatherings and also lessons where the families and parents are able to participate with their children. This participation initiates attachment with the child and their parents but also promotes relationships between the caregivers and parents. Another way in which I will promote two-way communication is being involved with home visits before they come to the center and throughout the school year as well. This will show parents and families that we care about heir child's development by asking questions about how they are doing and what their goals are for the child. This is a time for the parents and families
