In 2010 the Government produced The Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance which is generic and sets out how practitioners should work together in accordance with the Children's Act 1989 and the Children's Act 2004 (HM Government, 2010:7). In April 2013 in response to recommendations from the Munro Report 'A Child Centred System' the Department of Education published the revised guidance (Department of Education, 2013). So what is partnership working? Jo Tunnard (1991, cited in Jackson and Morris, 1994:3) describes "The essence of partnership is sharing. It is marked by respect for one
Another main reason is the simple fact people are marrying later for many reasons, more because of the change in attitudes towards education and religion (seclurisation). It doesn’t help that the countrys ecnomy is in decline and the price of weddings not only was expensive enough but they are also getting dearer to match the current cost of living. From 1838 until.

Another immense strength for VSUW is the high percentage of revenue that is invested in programs to help the community. According to VSUW (2013) “less than 10 percent [of revenue] is spent on administrative costs with 90 percent invested in local programs and initiatives” to help those in need in the community. Weaknesses In preparing financial statements often times management has to make estimates on the numbers (Valley of the Sun United Way, 2013). This is a weakness because the “actual results could differ from the estimates” (Valley of the Sun United Way, 2013). Another weakness is that this non-profit “invests excess cash in investment grade marketable solutions” (Valley of the Sun United Way, 2013).
What might be some of the difficulties and rewards of being a carer for a family member? At some point in our lives it is likely that every one of us will find ourselves with caring responsibilities, either for a family member or someone close to us. While caring duties have always been integral to family life, it’s only since the end of the twentieth century that the different aspects of care within families have gained public interest. The term ‘unpaid carer’ or more recently ‘carer’ was coined to refer to someone who specifically provided care to a person due to their sickness, age or disability. The vast impact of the role these carers fill and their economic values to health services have become increasingly recognised, yet for
The ‘New vision’ is the first of three strands of work intended to review the provision and long-term funding of adult social care. It will be proceeded by a the review of adult social care law (Law Commission, 2010) and the Independent Commission on the Funding of Care and Support (Dilnot Commission, 2010) culminating in a White Paper in the autumn of 2011.The ‘New Vision’ for adult social care policy document aims to change the role and power of the state by underpinning the values of fairness, freedom and responsibility. It is hoped the twin track approach of creating of a ‘Big Society’ will complement and work alongside the policy objectives to help themselves and their communities. The ‘New vision for adult social care’ is based on seven key principles prevention, personalisation, partnership purity, protection, productivity and people (DH, 2010). The Government’s commitment through these proposals is to have all users of adult social care accessing services by using personal budgets by 2013.
Reid shows that other countries has a lot better health system than does the USA and we could learn from them. Reid believes that we can decrease costs and improve access to care if we used a different health care system. One of the main reasons that Reid dislikes the American Health Care system is because the system does not provide health care to everybody in the country. “The cohort of Americans who don’t have health insurance on any given day numbers over 45 million (about 15 percent of the population)”(Reid Ch. 3).
The services needed for a new housing estate with lots of young children, are usually different from those needed a well-established estate with a greater proportion of older adult residents. planning provision of services: provision of services for health and social is expensive and a new service can take several years to develop. Strategic health authorities, primary care trust (PCTS) and local authority with are responsible for planning health and social care provision, have to be sure that any decision to invest public money in developing new services is justified. Their decisions need to be based on information that is accurate, recent and reliable. Research information policy and practice: Policy: research shows that older people stay healthier for longer if they remain in their own homes so local authorities have
Andersson performed a study in Sweden which indicated that good quality daycare led to positive social and intellectual advantages. She showed that centres with qualified staff with a low staff turnover were able to provide beneficial social, emotional and cognitive effects for children. Yet, all studies into daycare can be criticised as they cannot control all the variables that are significant to a child’s development such as temperament, parenting style or economic background. Longitudinal studies have also been effectively used of assessing the long term effects of day care on child development. The NICHD study in the USA tracked 1200 children from birth to when they started school.
