* Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families (P1) * Looked after children There are a variety of different reasons as to why children may be looked after by people other than their own family, the reasons as to why the child (ren) may be look after may include family breakdown, bereavement, parental illness or an incapacity of some kind. They may also be looked after because of behavioural problems or the child’s own illness. A reason that a child may become looked after may be following the imposition of a care order. It’s the duty of every local authority to consider the welfare of every child, the Child Act (1989 and 2004) tries to make sure that children are supported and they are kept in a family home if it is possible.

The manner in which the parents handle the tantrums may not be appropriate for the behavior that Clara is exhibiting or age appropriate; it is also possible that the parents are not effectively using techniques to improve or change the behavior.

Such children are likely to return to their families, but cannot do so until issues of employment, housing, and drug dependency are solved, which sometimes takes time. Many criticisms of foster care are based on practices that happened decades earlier (Jacobs).Today foster care is one useful tool in the arsenal of weapons available to social workers to assure that children are protected.

Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work Person centred values and care mean that everything is from the individual's point of view. It’s about what they want and how they want it to be provided rather than others deciding what they need and offering what is available. Being heard and respected can make the individual feel more empowered and less likely to be seen as a target for abuse. They can say what there concerns are and how they want to be supported.

Is it illegal, is it unethical or is it just not thought of? In most cases it is the choice of the parents and we should respect their decision to raise them in their own way, but there is still a lot of controversy on the topic.
These decisions eventually lead to the development of successful or unsuccessful careers depending on the impact of the intervention. There are various influence factors put forward by the numerous literatures that is purported to have a profound effect on a child’s career and educational decisions. The purpose of this review is to determine if the literature agree on the impact of familial influences on career development or if there are differences in opinions. This will help career counsellors, parents and other interested parties see the changes, if any, in the research done over the years which will help them understand what the new theoretical views are and use them in career counselling and development. To achieve this, this paper will focus on four factors, which are, (1) parenting style/child rearing pattern (2) parents’ career, work values and work related attitudes and behaviour (3) parent’s education and socio-economic status and (4) gender stereotyping and the gender of parent and child.
At this age, an individual acquires particular rights and duties that include a right to vote, enter into contracts, own property and make a will. Before reaching the age of majority, the law regards individuals as children. Generally, parents have some say in how they care for their natural or adopted children.
