The LSCB (having been contacted by the setting) would also consider whether a Serious Case Review should be conducted where: a child sustains a potentially life-threatening injury or serious and permanent impairment of health and development through abuse or neglect; or a child has been subjected to particularly serious Sexual Abuse; or a parent has been murdered and a homicide review is being initiated; or a child has been killed by a parent with a mental illness; or the case gives rise to concerns about inter-agency working to protect children from harm. The purpose of Serious Case Reviews carried out under this guidance is to: establish whether there are lessons to be learnt from the case about the way in which local professionals and organisations work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; identify clearly what those lessons are, how they will be acted on, and what is expected to change as a result; and as a consequence, improve inter-agency working and better safeguard and promote the welfare of

When the CDC asked Asian American students if they had seriously considered suicide during the past year, 19 percent answered yes, compared to 16 percent of all high school students. About four percent of Asian American teens reported a suicide attempt within the past year that required medical attention, compared to two percent of all students. Of course, not all teens who report sadness and hopelessness may actually be clinically depressed. But in 2003, social worker Teddy Chen, Ho’s colleague at the Charles B. Wang health center in Manhattan’s Chinatown, conducted a survey in which 1,032 healthy Chinese American children, ages 12 to 18, had undergone a professional mental health screening. In a finding that Chen calls “alarming,” the screening discovered that 12 percent showed signs of
Community Health & Population C228 Western Governors University VWT Task 2 The Ohio measles outbreak of April 2014 accounted for more than half of the reported cases that year. In Ohio Amish country of Knox county, three hundred eighty three people became ill after unvaccinated Amish missionaries traveled to the Philippines, only to return infected with the measles virus (Newsmax, 2015). It was on an April afternoon when the Knox County health department received a call from an Amish woman reporting that her family and her neighbor’s family both had measles. The health department immediately began to test the families by collecting samples, nasal swabs, and draw blood (Tribble, 2014). Once the measles virus had been confirmed it was reported to the CDC of the outbreak.
Health Advocacy Campaign Policy & Advocacy for Population Health NURS 6050D-1 February 8, 2014 Health Advocacy Campaign Advocacy is the active promotion of a cause or principle; advocacy also involves actions that lead to a selected goal. Nurses have some obligation to participate in politics, having some political savvy as a nurse is just as important to a nurse’s practice as having knowledge in other areas of the nursing field. (Milstead, 2013). A very important policy needs to be put in place to restrict adults who smoke in vehicles with children that are under the age of 18; the aim is to reduce exposure of second hand smoke (SHS). As per Hick (2009), “children who are exposed to tobacco smoke, both before and after birth, have been known to suffer from a number of effects on their health, which includes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), respiratory problems, cancer and impaired mental and social environment.” The purpose of this paper is to determine the population that is at risk, develop an advocacy campaign to protect the population and to determine the legal considerations.
How does it feel to be bullied? Well it does NOT feel very well. For some cases, it leads to suicide. Statistics show that… Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts.
Why hadn’t his mother checked the house to make sure everything was safe for her children? Hearing stories of young children do harm with such weapons can bring a thought of whether or not parents are still paying attention to and watching their children these days. Michael Moore shared that media feeds fear into the public. The media puts violent acts as top stories in America, yet in Canada, there is not as much violence at all. Toronto, Canada is only about a three to four hour drive from Detroit, Michigan.
If you were to ask teachers in the 1980’s if they thought training school faculty members gun safety and allow them to carry weapons it would be viewed as unimaginable. With the increase of school violence since 1999 more parents and faculty members have been asking how we should go about keeping our children safe in school. In the United States in 2012, there were ten school shootings leaving forty-one dead and thirteen wounded (Tyrel). Many schools in urban neighborhoods have installed metal detectors and do backpack checks prior to allowing anyone into the schools doors. Should we train and allow school faculty members to carry weapons to help keep our children safe or should we find other methods of early detections to stop these events from happening.
Some of those reasons being the crime rates, the costs of what could happen, and injuries. Firearm injuries have killed more than 28,000 Americans each year since 1972 (Ruben). In 2007, thirty-one thousand two hundred twenty four Americans died due to homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings. Accidental shootings happen quite often. In 2007, around seventy thousand Americans were hospitalized due to accidental shootings.
Drunk driving is the leading cause of death for people from the age of six to thirty-three years old (Curran, 1). One in three people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime (MADD, 1). Everyday thirty-six people in the United States die due to the crashes and approximately 700 more are injured in car crashes that involve alcohol-impaired drivers. This year, 10,839 people will die in drunk-driving crashes; one every fifty minutes (MADD, 1). “Cracking down on those who take drugs or drink and then drive is a year round commitment for Warwickshire and West Mercia.”- West Mercia Police.
