Explain 2 significant influences on parents and / or carers in the documentary. (Textbook Page 233-241) A influence that has implicated the practices of the parents/carers within the documentary is the previous experience in which individuals have faced with their parents growing up. A parent or carers previous experience and upbringing can impact the decisions that they make as parents themselves, whether they use these experiences as a tools to help them bring up their child or if they choose to discard certain aspects of their upbring, which consisted of negative experiences such as domestic violence, which was an experience that Susan had faced in her childhood. Her negative relationship with her mother in particular had put Susan in a difficult place, yet she was able to take these experience and turn them into something that would allow her own daughter to be brought up by her other grandmother, as she was accepting of the fact that she was incapable of bringing her up herself due to her disability, …show more content…
For instance, Robert and his family were significantly impacted by the opinion of others i public, as younger members of society would often taunt Robert with mean comments about his disability, yet Roberts strong and assertive response toward them has exposed his family to a positive outlook on interpreting these comments, which had a strong influence on his and Julie. Critically examine how a range of rights and responsibilities contribute to wellbeing of the parent or child. (Textbook 242-247) A vast range of rights and responsibilities have contributed to the wellbeing of both parents and children within the documentary. Examples include legal decisions, the duty of care and Disciplinary implements as well as setting

Social care and healthcare are both included in the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill. In England, there are two bodies that handle matters relating to social welfare. The National Care Standards is tasked with registering bodies that provide social care. The performance and progress of the organizations are monitored by the Social Services Inspectorate. The analysis of the social aspects of care involves collecting data that is analyzed so as to identify the differences that cause variation in the health of different people. The data collected may not be simple to understand. As a result, it requires a deeper analysis so as to establish the social factors affecting health (Larkin, 2011).

Social work practice has a responsibility to adequately support the chosen lifestyle of unpaid carers as their efforts form an invaluable service which saves the economy £132 billion per year (Carers UK, 2015a). Without the thousands of carers, the health of many of society’s most vulnerable would suffer as the government would struggle to fund the costs of providing alternative care. Yet there is a growing reliance upon unpaid carers who are willing and able to provide the care which allows people to remain within their home. Firstly, the health issues of an aging and unhealthy population means there are increasing numbers of people aged 18+ who find it difficult to look after themselves. Secondly, there is an expectation that unpaid carers
...r tended to her activities of daily living – feeding her, grooming her. However, her mother had no insight on her condition and how to help her take care of herself. I, personally took her to school and talked to teachers who advised to have her join a school for the disabled, she was falling behind in classes and it was affecting her mentally and emotionally. She was visually impaired and no one in the family knew until she took a vision test catered to her. She is now 22 years old, and it amazes me to see how she has flourished. A young girl who used to be glued to the television, watching cartoons and the likes, she is now on her iPad watching videos on YouTube, face-timing with friends and family. When our grandmother passed away a few years ago, she took it upon herself to console everyone. Had her growth been hindered, she wouldn’t be the person she is now.
Parents and their parenting style play an important role in the development of their child. In fact, many child experts suggest that parenting style can affect a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological development which influence not just their childhood years, but it will also extend throughout their adult life. This is because a child’s development takes place through a number of stimuli, interaction, and exchanges that surround him or her. And since parents are generally a fixed presence in a child’s life, they will likely have a significant part on the child’s positive or negative development (Gur 25).
Disability and reactions to those who are disabled are socially constructed, and vary from generation to generation and from culture to culture. As these precepts change and alter with time and knowledge how we treat those who are labeled as disabled evolves- sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. Harriet McBryde Johnson’s and John Hockenberry’s experiences are all too familiar. The challenges faced by these two individuals many times were not with the disability itself, but was from how the world responded to them. Harriet McBryde Johnson had many of her work colleagues unaware and unbelieving of a dire prognosis because of how she personally handled life, how integrated she was with the world around her. Her experience in Cuba

In Australia, the term ‘best interest’ has been discovered thoroughly in the family law area. The Family Law Act provides the aspects that the court must consider in defining the child's best interests, beginning with any wishes articulated by the child. Aside from that, care and protection legislation in most states and territories also requires
It can be said for most parents that they want their children to grow up to be successful contributing members of society. Being a parent is a difficult, yet rewarding task. But why do some types of parenting result in juvenile delinquency while others find success. There are four generally recognized parenting styles and are categorized: authoritarian, permissive, neglectful, and authoritative. This essay will break down the various styles, its type(s) of discipline and effectiveness.
Parenting styles are as diverse as parents themselves. Parenting is one of the most challenging and difficult responsibilities a person can face. The way a family is structured is called the parenting style. Parenting styles are collections of parental attitudes, practices, and non-verbal expressions that characterize the nature of parent-child relationships. Because individuals learn how to parent from many different examples including their own parents, role models, society and life experiences. Parenting techniques can vary greatly from household to household, however, experts believe that parenting styles can be broken down into four main categories which include permissive,authoritarian,authoritative,and neglectful.
Family law is an extremely sensitive and controversial topic. One of the most serious topics in family law are disputes regarding children. The child’s best interest should be paramount but this is difficult to determine and creates conflict as it is different for every case and the best for the child might not be the child’s wishes if they are not old enough. In this response, the interest of the child in family disputes will be explored, its effect on stakeholders and their interests, the effectiveness of the current process in the protection and the best interests of the child and recommendations for future legislations.
Parent involvement is a major topic of concern among policy makers, educators, and researchers (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan, & Maritato, 1997; Rouse & Barrow, 2006; Young, Austin, & Growe, 2013) for more than 20 years. School districts, educational leaders, and researchers all agree with the premise that strong school-family partnerships improve children’s learning and outcomes. Parents and schools, separately or together, represent noteworthy influences on the essential sources of support for children’s learning and development. Children develop within multiple contexts, and development and learning are optimal when effective networks and permanencies among these systems are created. Semke and Sheridan (2012) affirm methods
