Task 2
Referral Procedures
Self-Referral: This is when someone has approached the professional on their own and not through another care professional. Most of the time this is done by taking themselves to the surgery, school etc. But as the children in an early years’ service are usually too young to refer themselves this would usually be a parent or carer. For example is a parent calling or visiting a school to see if there are any available spaces for their child to attend. Another example is the parent contacting the local authorities about getting a placement at a school. Also, a child could talk to a teacher if they needed help with their homework.
Professional Referral: “This type of referral happens when your doctor sends you to the hospital to have an x-ray, for example. Put simply it is whenever a trained professional recommends you to make an appointment with another health care employee.”[1] An example of this is when a teacher calls a social worker because they have concerns that the child is being abused. Or a teacher referring a child to the school nurse if they are hurt or feel ill.
Third Party Referral: This when someone who is not a care worker, such as a friend or relative, signs up for the service on the behalf of the other person. For example, if a relative notices bruising and reports them to social

This could mean the child getting to school at a certain time or how easily they can access the school. For example, a child may live in a remote village where they have to travel a long way to get to a school which will put them off going to school because they will have to get up earlier to go to school, causing the child to become sleep deprived. Another example is if the child lives far away from the school and the family has no car, there needs to be a school bus or something put in place so the child can be taken to school with

We support them to develop and achieve their aims and objectives through involving them in the development of their care plans and in any decisions. We give the clients all the information they need to be able to make choices and support them through the referral process to enable them to get the appropriate information to make decisions.
Within the care system there are two different routes in to care and these are voluntary care and compulsory care. Voluntary care is when the parent agrees for their child to be placed in to the care system and this care section is under section 76 of the social services and wellbeing act of 2014. Then there is compulsory care and this is when the imposition of a care order is put in place by the authorities. This is under section 31 of the social services and wellbeing act of 2014.
In accordance with the law, self-referrals are unethical practices that involve a physicians’ referral of patients to entities in which they have a financial interest. A financial interest may arise from owning a part of or having investment in the entity. A financial interest may also occur when a physician has a “structured compensation arrangement” with a health care facility or entity (O’Sullivan 2007). ...

...here they need to go. This makes kids late, the times ranging from forty five minutes to two hours, if the bus comes at all. All of these are major concerns, the interference with summer plans, the length of our summer, and the conditions of the roads, are significant concerns.
Sleep deprivation is very common in adolescents and can contribute to many different problems that can be avoided with simple changes in daily sleep routines. According to the article, “young and sleep deprived” by Karen Weintraub many psychologists want to persuade middle schools and high schools to push back start times to increase safety and performance in their students’ everyday lives. They claim that the reason why teenagers are drowsy and experience impaired attention span in class is because of sleep deprivation. Psychologists claim this because students around the United States are waking up before their circadian rhythms or internal clocks tell them to awake. Therefore, if students awake before their circadian
That means that the first three classes that students are learning in, their brain isn’t fully there. If a student has three of their hardest classes the first three hours of the day, then they really aren’t focused on what they are learning about. A 2015 survey finds that U.S. schools start “too early”. “Five out of every Six United States middle and high schools have starting times before eight thirty [in the morning]. [Starting before this time can reduce student’s efforts], adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become overweight, not [get] enough physical activity, suffer from depression symptoms, engage in inappropriate activities, and perform poorly in school” (Yeager). Sleep is needed for students to have good health, but they aren’t getting enough. If you walk into any school, you’ll notice that most of the kids that are trying to

Judith Owens, M.D., M.P.H., Director of Sleep Medicine, Children’s National Medical Center stated that, “There’s no question that later [school] start times pose significant challenges and barriers, … but [making a change to the these start times] is something within our control, something we can change to make a significant impact on the long-term health of children” (Clarkson para. 29) The issue regarding when the start to the school day should begin may not seem like a threatening topic that drastically affects our lives, but as Owens stated it has a “long-term” effect on the generations of tomorrow. In order words, the school start times do affect many individuals, not only in the present, but carries it out throughout their lives. These long-term effects may come from the result of sleep deprivation and stress piled upon students during the school year. These issues may not seem rather insignificant at its moment, but they can and will negatively affect the children. Therefore, the starting times for schools should be pushed back a least an hour to not only to benefit the students physically and mentally, but also academically, and although there are some conflicts in doing so, the overall outcome results in giving adolescents a healthier future, with a chance of reaching greater opportunities.
It is important for children to have opportunities to play as It helps then to develop and get to understand more about themselves and peers and each other’s likes and dislikes and can communicate with each-other and develop their social skills. Children will also be able to learn how to communicate with their main carers and understand more about the physical world and different textures. It's important to create a space for the child to play as all children feel curiosity and have a need to explore different things.
School days starting later would help improve student attendance by a lot! For example, a copious amount of students oversleep which results in lateness to school. However, if school started at least one to two hours later, then the students perhaps will not be late, and as a result, they can...
Many people are resistant to change, especially if it involves reassembling their plans and procedures to adjust to the new schedule. This is a problem for parents’ work schedules since they most likely will not be able to see their kids in the morning which will leave students unsupervised when they get ready. This is also a problem for transportation since parents will not be able to take their kids to school which might cause traffic and more costs since bus schedules would change too. According to the Sleep Foundation, "If elementary students have the earliest start times, they may be waiting for the bus in the dark early mornings, or waiting at home alone after school." Later start times are thought to solve tardies and absences, but if students cannot get to school, it does not solve anything. A change in the school schedule will result in disorder in many people’s daily routines perhaps having to discard certain activities to fully adjust to the new schedule. The changes caused by a new schedule affects students

If school starts two hours later and ends two hours later suddenly students lose two hours of valuable study time. Therefore, you may think that they can just redeem these two hours lost in the morning but sadly most students will not wake up early if it is not mandatory. The whole purpose of delaying school start time is because teenagers have been proven to work better after noon and do not receive enough sleep. It is believed that starting school later will ensure that students receive a long night 's sleep and will increase work efficiency. However by delaying school start time they force students to wake up earlier anyways to complete studying when they are not at their best or they will be too tired to wake up early to study so they will stay up late studying
