Unit 2: Assignment 2.4 (A)

The children’s act 1989 –

The principles and concepts are shown below.

Under the children acts, they have a general duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of the children within the area who are in need. Also this is putting the patient/service users of the heart of service

Authorities must meet the standards of the child’s need and promote the upbringing of the children by they family if safe to do so. Authorities should work with partnership with the parents. While the Local Authority will seek a Court order when required action is in the best interest of the child, the first option must be to work with the parents by voluntary arrangement unless to do so would clearly be placing the child at risk of significant harm. The Court will only make an order if it is better for the child than making no order. Consideration of the welfare checklist assists the Court in making this decision. In all cases when the Court determines any question with respect to the child's upbringing, the child's welfare shall be the paramount consideration. The Children Act introduces the principle that delay in Court proceedings is harmful to the child. The Court has the power to draw up a timetable and give directions as to the conduct of the case and will invariably exercise this power. There is however a general principal that there will be some occasions where delay is beneficial.
