1.1 Identify the current legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people including e-safety. Current legislation in place for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people are Children Act (1989 and 2004), Every Child Matters Framework, Health & Safety at Work Act, Education Act 2002 and Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006 and 2010). This legislation’s are in place to help safeguard children and young people and to try to prevent abuse. This Act includes two important parts, which states that the local authority has a duty to investigate when “they have reasonable cause to suspect harm to a child and that services must be put in place to protect such children. 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.
His findings into attachment radically challenged the prevalent behaviourist theory of Watson of learned infant attachment in response to constant stimuli and the psychoanalytical theory of Freud that attachment was based on biological needs or ‘cupboard love’ theories as unreliable. (Custance, 2010). Within this essay I will attempt to describe both Harlow’s and Ainsworth research methods and compare and contrast their findings and criticisms. Harry Harlow’s work on attachment focused on the bond between infant and mother. Harlow wanted to investigate whether attachment was based on the ‘cupboard love’ theory of Freud and Watson or on Bowlby’s suggestion that attachment was an innate tendency in response to warmth and tactility.
CYP 3.2 Promote child and young person development 4.1 Explain how own working practice can affect children and young people’s development. My own working practice, lack of knowledge or laziness can affect children development in many ways. As a practitioner it’s my duty is to know and maintain correct procedure and adhere to the setting policies to keep the children safe and healthy, to support the children’s welfare and uphold the setting aims. As an example, if I am not aware of any specific child problem with allergies and I give that child some allergic food that will affect that child’s health. My knowledge of child development is helping me doing observations and assessments.
What is the general purpose of the study? What questions does it raise? This study centers on the concern that children, biological parents, and guardians involved in foster care visitations are inadequately prepared. The Familyconnect tool was designed to enrich visitation amongst foster children and their biological parents, as well improve the relationship between foster and biological parents. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Familyconnect tool.
Having a caregiving environment of mind-mindedness, a state in which the parents treat their children as independent thinkers, is a necessary condition for the best development of interpersonal interpretive function. Individuals suffering from BPD have an inadequate ability to understand that their reactions and other’s reactions are driven by thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and desires. Attachment trauma is also thought to be part of the history of those with BPD. Attachment theory suggests that early experience with caregivers serves to organize later attachment relationships and has been used to explain the psychopathology of BPD (Fonagy, Target, Gergely, Allen, & Bateman, 2003). Childhood maltreatment studies have offered diverse predictors in the types of childhood maltreatment associated with BPD.
Hewas in support of child day care as long as it was continuous and high quality,although a preference of parental care was suggested by Rutter. There is a difficulty in isolatingvariables which result in positive and negative attachments. Indeed somefeminists argue that stay at home mothers are often at risk of harming theirchildren through an inability to cope and lack of support from immediate orextended family. Associated with this argument is that of the risk fromdomestic violence which increases isolation and effects the development of thechild - even if the primary caregiver is ever present. From the 1950s anincreased development of the nuclear family has been argued to provide a duelfunction.
If secured the child will receive ample attention and have basic needs met. However, if unsecured may result in an impaired social and emotional development (Peterson, 2004). In attempts to distinguish between the associated attachment behaviours observed in infant-caregiver interaction, Mary Ainsworth patented the strange situation test; subsequent findings resulted in three categories of infant attachment style; A: insecure avoidant, B: secure and C: insecure resistant (Ainsworth, et al. 1978). This model was later applied to adult romantic relationships and adapted to form theories of adult
When shown together there evidence provided a way of proving how levels of security in these relationships have substantial impact upon infants development. It is important to mention that the “strange situation” technique has received criticisms surrounding ethics with regards to intentionally inflicting distress upon infants by purposely separating them from their attachment figure however it has been argued that this situation is something that does occur naturally in an infants life. The ecological validity of the research and its ability to be generalised within different cultures has also been questioned as the study used only a sample of westernised participants. For Bowlby the IWM only had capacity to change in the period of infancy after this it is fixed for the rest of a persons life therefore a link should be able to be demonstrated between infant attachment classifications and adult attachment classifications. Continuing from the work of Bowlby and Ainsworth the adult attachment interview was developed by Main, here an adults ability to integrate childhood memories of relationships with attachment figures into working models of relationships was assessed identifying in accordance to Main three
It was hoped that the questions could isolate specific areas and incidents that may have hindered any one stage of development thereby influencing the subject’s later view of adolescence. This focus is inspired by Erickson’s emphasis on the identity crisis as the “psychosocial aspect of adolescing.” (Erickson, 1968:91) This taxonomy of adolescence requires the active coalescing of previous stage outcomes to form an identity or identity confusion, which would form the basis for future physiological growth and social responsibility. All the stages that precede this stage end with some degree of a resolution of conflict, however, the degree and quality of identity established in adolescence is important because it the first experience of identity. The interview structure was designed to test the theory that later year views of life and recollections of adolescence would be influenced by any identified distonic outcomes in Erickson’s first four stages. Method The interview was conducted by telephone in one interview lasting approximately 2 hours.
Evaluate the support used in a text 1) Relevance and/or consistency There is relevancy of Betsy Shaw’s argument .First argument is relevance. The author provides relevant supporting points which consist of facts and report according to Guardian UK- The detail and exact location of baby hatch in Malaysia-Report according to Malaysia’s newspaper. The second argument is relevant which Baby boxes or also called as baby hatches can violate the rights of the babies. Betsy Shaw has highlighted about the rights of the babies should be protected under the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. In the third argument which is baby hatch can prevent the infanticide.
