This will have caused from poor concentration, the child may also need specific help in their work and class before any sort of progress can be made. 2) Parental illness: a child may need to be looked after because their parents may be ill or cannot cope and as a result the child may have to leave the family home for a period. Throughout this time they may live in foster homes, residential schools or children’s homes. 3) Family breakdown: families break down for a number of reasons including the following substance like abuse, mental health problems, bereavement, parental illness and incapacity. The most dangerous cause of a child being removed from that situation for their own safety and well-being.
Vulnerable Mothers and Children HCA 340 Special Populations Instructor: July 28, 2014 In this paper I will analyze the barriers to medical services that vulnerable mothers and children have to endure. “Vulnerable populations include group of people whose health care needs exceed the average or who are a greater risk [than the average person] for poor health status and health care access.” (Christine Ferguson 2007, p.1359). When women get pregnant too young they become vulnerable due to their lack of education. It becomes too hard for them to continue school and raise a child at the same time. The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child.
Some examples of Legislation in which we have to follow whilst working with children and young people are: * Health and safety at work act (1974) * Children act (1989&2004) * Safeguarding Vulnerable groups act (2006) * Data protection Act (1991) * UN convention on the rights of the child (1991) There are guidelines which detail acts of law these are shared with the public. And explain what parts of the legislation apply to you and explain to you what you must do to comply with the law. Some examples of guidelines are: * Every child matters (2004) * The framework for assessment of children and their families (2000) * Common assessment framework (2006) * Working together to safeguard children (2013) The guidelines are used to create policies and procedures which are in turn used to implement the laws. 1.3 Analyse how national and local guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding affect day to day work with children and young people. National Legislation and guidance influence the development of local policies and procedures which affect the day to day
When an infant has had an attachment and it has been broken. There is research done into deprivation by Bowlby. This is his Maternal deprivation hypothesis, which stated the belief that if an infant was unable to build a "warm, intimate, continuous relationship with its mother", it would then result in having difficulties building relationships with other people and also the risk of behavioural disorders. This hypothesis says that relationships that are discontinuous or where there are separations becomes unstable which causes the development of the relationship to be disrupted. It focuses on how important an relationship between a mother and child is.
Children who have run away behaviour those parents find difficult to manage alone. Also children who truancy off school is another behaviour that may lead to the child’s needs to be placed in the foster care systems. Deaths: Sometimes children have to be put in care because family are unable to care for the child after the death of a parent children maybe looked after by the local authority most often it is because the child’s parents or the people who have parental responsibilities and rights to look after the child are unable to care for them. Have been neglected them or the child has committed an offence his local authority has specific responsibilities and duties for a child who is being looked after such as: 1. The local authority accommodation under a voluntary arrangement where the child’s patents agree to the child being
The Education Act sets out the responsibilities Children’s Act 1989 This act identifies the responsibilities of parents and professionals who must work to ensure the safety of a child. Two important sections focus specifically on child protection. The local authority has a duty to investigate when ‘they have reasonable cause to suspect that a child who lives, or is found in their area is suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm’ services must be put in place by local authorities to ‘safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need. Education Act 2002 This sets out the responsibilities of local education authorities (LEA’s), governing bodies, head teachers and all those working in schools to ensure those children are safe and free from harm. Children Act 2004 This provides the legal framework 1.2 Describe the different agencies involved in safeguarding the welfare of children and young people The different agencies involved are: Social Services Police Health Services NSPCC Children’s social care Social Services They are there to work with the families.
Sociologically, grieving within families is not an easy task. Each family member reacts to death differently and forces family members to make changes in their lives in order to adjust to life without this family member. Raney and Charles had a hard time accepting the suicide of Uncle Nate. When Charles voiced his opinion that Uncle Nate was clearly depressed, obsessive-compulsive, and crippled from his life experiences, thus needing psychological help in order to heal, Raney took it as an insult. In Raney’s mind, Charles was placing blame on her, her family, and specifically, her mother who spent most of her time taking care of Uncle Nate.
This inevitably impacts upon the family as a unit, and when a mother is bringing up the children alone as a military partner will during deployment, this fact is even more alarming. Postnatal depression (PND) is a common condition that can have a significant and sometimes long lasting impact on family life. It can have a detrimental effect on a woman's parenting capacity which in turn can have an adverse effect on the cognitive and emotional development of the infant. Similar to any episode of depression or low mood, depression after having a child affects the woman's feelings about herself and in turn may effect her interpersonal relationships. The expectation of society is that motherhood is a joyful and rewarding experience and these pressures can cause a new mother to hide her feelings for fear of judgement by those around
What are the requirements for and barriers to hospice service? It can be hard on any family when they learn that a loved one is ill, but it can be especially difficult to learn that their loved one is terminally ill. (A terminal person is defined as person who is expected to live six months or less.) Upon finding out that, a loved one is terminally ill, a decision would need to be made on the treatment of the end-of- life care they would need. The most common treatment available is hospice. Hospice is a program that provides the patient with medical services and both the patient and their family with emotional support and spiritual resources.
This value is defined by the idea of putting others before you. With this being the most important goal, there should be more of a focus on getting help to families who are lacking basic needs like food and shelter, which is what the main welfare programs provide. The main issue here is that many of the families seeking welfare have children whose interests are of greatest importance. If people are denied assistance due to drug use, their children suffer. In the instance that a mother is abusing drugs and applying for welfare, she probably isn’t adequately caring for her children in the first place due to the drug usage.
